Kevin D.
Unilateral Hip Disarticulation
In 1974, Kevin was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg. He was 5-years old at the time of his amputation surgery, which was the standard treatment at that time. From that point on, he grew up wearing a prosthesis.
"With very few exceptions, there is nothing you will be prevented from doing. You may not do it the same as everyone else does, but if you want to do something, you'll find a way to do it."

Where Art and Science Meet
by Tony Roberts
Joanne Presbury of Bel Air is a three-year amputee. After Pressbury, 62, lost her leg to diabetes, her physical therapist referred her to Real LIfe Prosthetics for a replacement, she said. Presbury lost all but one of her toes on her right foot, and lost her left leg up to her knee. She not only found a place that got her to walk like she never lost a leg, but a company that cared about what she wants, she said.
