Gavin

Why me?

Gavin has always been a natural competitor, playing soccer, baseball, and football from a young age. Movement wasn’t just what he did, it was who he was.

Then, during a soccer game, everything changed. After a severe leg injury and a year of attempted limb salvage, Gavin and his family faced a life-altering decision: amputation.

At first, there was only one question:

“Why me?”

But over time, it shifted:

“Why not me?”

“From day one, I saw Gavin’s determination. He never stops pushing for what matters to him. That’s why we created the right prosthesis for each activity: Running, hiking, swimming.”
