Kid’s Day at EmpowerFest
Kids with limb loss and limb difference are invited to join us for a day of inspiration that includes fun activities like Zumba, art class, and minute-to-win-it contests! The day ends with a LIVE check-in with Winter the Dolphin and Kevin Carroll at Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
Over the weekend I met so many incredible people who are not letting their circumstances determine their life! Thank you Hanger Clinic for not just giving me legs and hands, but a whole new family, mindset, and confidence to empower others!
