Shane, Peer Mentor
Arriving in Silicon Valley, Shane was fitted by us for the first time in 2019. Despite being an amputee for most of his life and concerns about potential foot damage, we assured him of our support. Just two weeks after his fitting, he was rock climbing at our Planet Granite event in Belmont, and he hasn't looked back since.
From Shane, April 2021, "I have picked up backpacking during Covid. I've hiked Yosemite (twice), the Grand Canyon, The Lost Coast Trail, among many others with this leg. I think the biggest issue I had with foot maintenance was when I spent 5 weeks in Hawaii. All the sand wasn't great for wear and tear. This has been the best leg I've ever had!"
