A Milestone Moment for Awareness

On a clear, bright day outside the Delaware State Capitol, a significant moment in advocacy and awareness was captured in this uplifting photo. Pictured are Sean Samitt, the Lead Advocate for the Amputee Coalition in Delaware, alongside the dedicated team from Marins Med. Together, they hold the recently awarded proclamation declaring April as Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month—a testament to their hard work and commitment to the community.

This recognition by the Delaware Senate marks a pivotal step in acknowledging the challenges and triumphs of over 5.6 million Americans living with limb loss and limb differences. Spearheaded by Senator Pettyjohn, whose personal connection to the cause deepened his commitment, the proclamation highlights the importance of access to appropriate care and the empowerment of individuals to lead full, active lives.

The photo captures more than just a moment; it symbolizes a movement. Behind the smiles is a story of perseverance, advocacy, and the collective effort to bring issues of limb loss and difference to the forefront of public and political consciousness. As we celebrate this achievement, we are reminded of the ongoing need for support and recognition of the limb loss and limb difference community.

Join us in honoring this milestone and continue supporting efforts that enable individuals to reach their potential, celebrate their capabilities, and advocate for necessary changes in healthcare, accessibility, and public perception. Together, we can make every month a time of awareness and action.
