Alexia Woodruff and Abigail (Abbey) Riley are both grad students, finishing the Prosthetics and Orthotics program at UHart this spring. They also did their undergrad at UHart and joined Associate Professor Duffy Felmlee, for 10 days on a goodwill trip to Kenya to work with under-served children who are missing limbs (either born that way, or lost them due to trauma). This was done in partnership with the Limb Kind Foundation. The team left for Kenya on March 24th. They lived at the hospital, creating prosthetics for the children. You can also help them fundraise for special shoes that can go on the kids’ prosthetics and grow with them over time, so they will hopefully last for years. The shoes are called “Shoes That Grow.”
