In 2008, while on a training run with the Atlanta Police Department, Pierre fell to the ground unconscious when he experienced massive organ failure. In an effort to save Pierre’s life, doctors were compelled to amputate both of his legs above the knees. After losing his legs, Pierre still had a strong desire to remain active. In particular, he wanted to run again. Though insurance covered Pierre’s prosthetic walking legs, it would not provide him running legs. In 2010, Pierre contacted Challenged Athletes Foundation and soon thereafter received running legs through the Operation Rebound: CAF program. Today, Pierre is training to be a world-class sprinter and has become a CAF Ambassador. Listen & share!
