Courtney

On Cloud Nine

Courtney has always wanted to run like the wind. However a rare birth defect of the spine, Sacral Agenesis, made this nothing but a dream. Which is where we sailed in. Amputation surgery made it possible for Courtney to receive specially designed legs. Part brace. Part prosthesis.

Standing up to the challenge of using this unusual device, Courtney was on her feet in a mere nine days. So now Courtney can walk. From storm clouds to cloud nine.
