Kara was 18 when she lost her leg to osteosarcoma.

There was a version of her life that could have stopped there.

Instead she kept fighting her way back to the things she loved, even when it looked different, even when it was harder and more painful.

What you’re seeing isn’t just talent… it’s months of adapting, rebuilding, and refusing to let go of who she is.

This is what resilience looks like.

Soon she’s conquering surfing at camp and we’re so excited to see her thrive there too!

Before I lost my leg, I had no real understanding of what life with limb loss actually looks like.

There are so many difficult parts...

But one of the hardest and most surprising parts of limb loss: lack of coverage and the cost.

Prosthetics that help you live a healthy and full life without a lot of chronic pain are very expensive and often deemed not “medically necessary.”

Being an amputee is hard enough, worrying about how to pay for parts of your body you need just to live shouldn’t be a problem too.

Kara lost her leg to osteosarcoma when she was just 18.

Getting her prosthetic to fit right is something she manages every single day…

Prosthetic fit changes depending on the weather, your exercise routine, even what you eat.

It’s a process: one that takes time, patience, and constant, often costly adjustments.

Help us support more girls and women like Kara get access to the prosthetics they need to live with less pain and with full, active lives at (http://strongerthanyouthink.org) and follow along to see Kara use her new prosthetic to take on surfing later this month surf camp!

After losing my leg, I spent a long time trying to hide my prosthetic from other people, and from myself too.

It took a lot of tears, fears, stares, and work to slowly start embracing my new self.

In those days, I could never have imagined becoming an model!

It feels surreal!!

Thank you for making me the 2nd Paralympian and 3rd amputee ever featured.

Representation changes us all. 💙

When I lost my leg at 22 years old, it felt like my world was over. It was so hard to see a future for myself.

I was faced with a choice: give in or fight for joy and my future.

Even though it felt really hard to trust that better was coming, I chose to fight.

To look at the luck that I was alive.
To hold onto bold hope.
To focus on gratitude for a second chance at life and determination to do everything I could to make the most of it.

And through that choice, I learned that yes, my future does look different than it did when I had two legs, but life post trauma and post amputation can be and is still filled with so much beauty, joy, opportunity, and fun.

As an amputee, movement is something I never take for granted anymore.

Surviving meningitis was Jamie’s first victory. Reclaiming movement was the next one.

Today she’s climbing, cycling, training, training to try to qualify for Paralympics and pushing herself every single day!

At Stronger Than You Think, we’re helping incredible girls and women like Jamie access the prosthetics they need to move again too.

“This moment means more to me than I can put into words. Running with Lucas has always been a dream of mine, and because of you, it’s now something we get to experience together. Thank you for your kindness and for making this possible for our family.” - Chrissy

For 12 years, running with her son Lucas was a dream Chrissy held onto after losing her leg… today, that dream became real.

Because of people who believe in this mission, moments like this become possible. 💙

My leg costs over $20,000! Not designer… but definitely the most expensive thing I wear everyday.

Prosthetics are so expensive and often not covered by insurance.

At Stronger Than You Think, we work to provide women and girls with life-changing prosthetics because mobility isn’t a luxury, it’s a right
