Melissa Rowlett: Amputee on the Move

MOVEFORJENN.ORG

Our Mission
The mission of the Move For Jenn Foundation is to offer grants in the form of activewear prosthetics to those who have suffered the loss of a limb to sarcoma or other affiliated diseases.  These sports prosthetics are not considered "medically necessary" by most insurance companies, so our foundation bridges the gap to allow amputees to get back to the physical activities they enjoyed prior to amputation. 

The Move For Jenn Foundation also aims to find a cure for sarcoma and better treatment options for sarcoma patients.  Targeted research, awareness, and advocacy are three core objectives that make the foundation unique.

Our Mission  No Wheelchairs or Prosthetics by the year 2035.

We stimulate the development of revolutionary technologies for people with lower-limb disabilities. Our vision is a world in which wheelchairs are obsolete and everyone, regardless of physical condition, can walk, run, and play to the full extent of the human spirit. Through our support of bionics entrepreneurs, our focus on fresh perspectives, and our dedication to bold collaboration, we are accelerating a new era of mobility tech that will change lives forever.
