Read Colleen’s Story…
“I am Colleen Haggerty, 51 years old, the mother of two teenagers and I live in Bellingham, Washington. In my twenties I was quite active and enjoyed backpacking, skiing and sea kayaking. However, for the last 33 years I have been an above knee amputee. After I had children, my activity level waned and my aging body starting to lose function. In 2010 I developed a walking campaign.
My goal was to walk 100 miles in 100 days so I could support the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation in achieving their mission of improving the mobility of children and adults in developing countries. I wanted to raise $30,000 to fund 100 legs through the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation. Walking a mile a day also helped me to regain my mobility!
You can view my blog at http://mymilewalk.wordpress.com to read more about how my walking campaign in 2010 impacted my life.”
