Amputee children fitted with new running blades at Boston event
Children living with limb loss had the opportunity to try running and other activities with the help of a Massachusetts-based organization. As part of the Running is Right program, the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation hosted a private event in Boston on Saturday. Shriners for Pediatric Patients. Specialists from Shriners Pediatric Orthotics and Prosthetics Services fitted patients with new running blades and other recreational prosthetics. The New Balance TRACK event allowed children with limb loss to connect with other children who share their experience. Other free gifts were given to children who attended the event, including Boston Bruins legend Zdeno Chara and double amputee marathon world record holders Marco Ceseto and Miguel Báez. I had the opportunity to meet people who are an inspiration to those living with loss. He is the first full-time amputee firefighter in Massachusetts. The “Running Is A Right” event was also sponsored by the Boston Bruins Foundation, UniCare/Wellpoint, and Barrault and Associates, LLC. Related article:
