Raising awareness about limb differences
Jordan’s brother, Cameron, is super involved in our work with Camp No Limits. This past year was the first time he didn’t get a chance to attend the summer camp in Missouri. It looks like he’s going to miss the 2015 camp for an amazing trip to Yellowstone National Park. But that hasn’t stopped his desire to raise awareness and learn more about limb differences.
Cameron is in seventh grade and his science class has an ongoing side project this semester where you get to become an expert on any topic you pick. Cam picked limb differences. He’s spent time researching and learning about the causes and treatment of limb differences and had a chance to do a presentation on it this week.
I’m proud of him. I think it is so cool Cameron is interested in learning more about a challenge his sister deals with each day. I also think it’s so cool Cameron is interested in looking for more solutions to helping people with limb differences. We recently purchased a 3D printed hand designed by e-NABLE and hopefully a part of his project will include learning how to build the hand.
The sweetest thing so far about this project is how Jordan reacted to this poster. She was so happy. She had no idea he was working on this topic and she declared him the best brother ever. Even though the two fight often, I think it’s awesome they can care about each other when the important stuff happens.
