High School Wrestler’s With Limb Difference & Penta Prosthetics’ Mission | We’re Not Stumped Podcast

from We're Not Stumped - Centering on life stories of the Limb Loss / Amputee and Disabled Communities · host Mike Bolland

 In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, we highlight two incredible stories of resilience and empowerment. First, we celebrate Forreston High School wrestler  Lucas Nelson, who recently reached his 100th career win—an impressive feat made even more inspiring by the fact that he competes with a limb difference. His journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, proving that hard work and determination can overcome any challenge. We also spotlight Penta Prosthetics, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making prosthetic devices more accessible to those in need. With millions of people worldwide unable to afford proper prosthetic care, Penta Prosthetics works to bridge the gap by recycling, refurbishing, and redistributing prosthetic limbs to individuals who need them most. Their mission is transforming lives, giving people the mobility and independence they deserve. Join host Mike Bolland as he dives into these compelling stories, discussing the importance of adaptive sports, the impact of inclusive organizations, and how we can all support initiatives that make a difference. 🔗 Read more: Forreston Grappler’s 100th Win - https://www.shawlocal.com/sauk-valley/2025/01/16/forreston-grappler-reaches-100th-win-all-despite-limb-difference/ 🔗 Learn about Penta Prosthetics: Penta Prosthetics - https://pentaprosthetics.org/ 🎧 Subscribe for more inspiring stories! #LimbDifference #AdaptiveSports #prosthetics Send Mike a Message!Support the showWant to be considered as a guest?  Fill out the form here: https://werenotstumped.com/podcast-guest-information/Learn more about our host Mike Bolland: https://mikebolland.com/
