Limbs of Love is partnering with the family of 7 month old, TALAN HOLMES, to help raise funds for his medical bills. Talan was born without a right arm, right lung, a hole in his heart and in March he will get his right leg amputated below the knee. His parents, Devin and Courtney Holmes, have insurance but it doesn't cover all the costs associated with this procedure. There will be a charity GOLF tournament on February 11th in honor of Talan Holmes. Please take a moment to meet this unbelievably strong family by clicking here.

Limbs of Love Helps Paralympic Hopeful
Limbs of Love is helping a young athlete realize her Olympic Dreams!
23 year old Daphne Hegreness didn't become a runner until after she lost her leg to cancer in 2008. Now this determined young lady is training to be part of Team USA for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.
Daphne had been training on a regular prosthetic because she and her young husband could not afford the tens of thousands of dollars needed for a racing prosthetic.
Limbs of Love heard about Daphne's story and stepped in to provide her with a Cheetah Flex Foot to helpher reach her goal. Within jsut ours on her new foot, Daphne shaved seconds off of her sprint time. To see more about her dreams and her remarkable journey click the link to the Houston Chronicle article below!
Harry Shaw Skydives at Last!
Veteran and Amputee Harry Shaw did something he has waited to do for 27 years - he jumped out of an airplane, again. The Army paratrooper lost his legs to friendly fire in Grenada in 1983, and since then he's been trying to find a way back to the sky.
In October of 2010, to mark the anniversary of the day he lost his legs, Harry got his wish.
The skydive was coordinated through Houston-based charity Limbs of Love, which helped Harry get his first prosthetic legs in decades just a few months before. To see more about Harry's story and see his jump click here!
