I was honored and deeply grateful to receive the Awesome Disability award as a founder of the American Foot Drop Association. I was finally able to print and share the guide we wish someone handed us when we were first diagnosed with foot drop. With this support, we’ll be able to send guides directly to physical therapy clinics, orthotic providers, and neurology offices to reach people right at the start of their journey. As the guide says: ‘You’re not broken. You’re not less than. You’re still capable, still worthy, and still complete.
Royal Neighbors of America recognized AFDA’s community work with funding to strengthen real life support for people living with Foot Drop. This backing funded the Clear Streets Ahead. Not only were we able to clean up 8 blocks, a safety audit was done.
