What would you do if you lost one of your legs?  I really don't think I can even imagine what folks go through, or how they recover.  Whether it's from an accident, or health issues, it's something that has both a huge physical and mental impact.

The Surgical Clinic is in Nashville and helps folks get a prosthetic replacement.  Aaron Fitzsimmons is one of the great people there, and Aaron has made it his life calling to help those who need help. 

One thing that obviously happens is your inability to work out.  Enter the Amputee Blade Runners.  This was started by Aaron Fitzsimmons and Ryan Fann.  Ryan lost his foot when he was 3, and has an amazing story.

 

Aaron and Ryan have put together the Amputee Blade Runners Color Run.  It's a 5k race March 30th, at LP Field.  This is the second year of this event, and they need your help raising money to help out folks.

A running prosthetic is not covered by insurace, so the organization helps amputees keep an active life, or get back into an active life.  Average cost is $4,000 - $5,000! Come run in this race to help out, or maybe just volunteer your time to help out on race day.

Here's Daryl Farler, Director of Communications talking about the Color Run.
