Come to the Mixer Tonight!

TONIGHT at The Amputee Center: Our Monthly Mixer 💫

Before we had walls, before we had mirrors, before we had a front door to unlock… we had this. The Monthly Mixer. It was the heartbeat before the body existed. The place where stories met air and courage met community. And it has been ongoing for many years, carrying us from dream… to doorway… to home.

Now, we begin a beautiful new chapter.

Each month, one of our incredible Board Members will host, opening not just the Center, but their heart, their experience, and their story. Tonight’s hosts are Tiffany and Tina.
To know Tiffany is to love her. And Tina arrives as part of that constellation, bringing her own warmth, perspective, and strength.

They will be here to welcome you, share reflections from the National Convention, and most importantly, to stand beside amputees and their families on every step of the journey. Whether you are newly navigating limb loss, years into your path, or supporting someone you love, this space was created for you.

Join us this evening at 6:30 PM
📍 The Amputee Center
Come as you are. Leave more connected.

Because this was never just a mixer.
It is where belonging lives.

We are excited to share that Gary Weiland will the keynote speaker at The Amputee Fun Fest this April! Mark your calendars for April 25th and register to attend this free event that will be amazing for all!

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: American Ninja Warrior Gary Weiland to Headline Amputee Fun Fest 2026 🚨

The Amputee Center is beyond honored to announce that American Ninja Warrior Gary Weiland will be joining us as our Keynote Speaker at Amputee Fun Fest 2026 on Saturday, April 25th at the Resiliency Center in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Gary Weiland is not just an athlete. He is a living testament to what happens when resilience refuses to negotiate. After losing his leg, Gary did not step away from life. He stepped directly into one of the most physically demanding arenas imaginable: American Ninja Warrior, where competitors climb, leap, swing, and defy gravity itself. He has become a powerful voice in the adaptive athlete community, inspiring thousands across the country by proving that limb loss is not the end of strength. It is often the beginning of a new kind.

Gary represents everything The Amputee Center stands for. Courage. Adaptation. Possibility. He transforms obstacles into opportunities and reminds us that the human spirit is far more powerful than circumstance.

His presence at Fun Fest is extraordinary because he brings national visibility, lived experience, and a message that resonates deeply with amputees, caregivers, families, medical professionals, and anyone who has ever faced adversity. To have someone who has competed on a global stage stand here in Parkersburg, sharing his story with our community, is both rare and deeply meaningful.

Amputee Fun Fest is our largest annual fundraiser, supporting the programs, adaptive fitness classes, peer support, and life-changing services provided year-round at The Amputee Center. This event ensures that individuals with limb loss and limb difference have access to community, movement, healing, and hope.

We are so grateful for everyone that makes the Amputee Center magic. Thank you Catherine Lang-Bigley for this post!

🌟 A Note From the Executive Director 📝

Some moments stop you in your tracks. They feel rare. Sacred. Like a vision quietly exhaling into real life.

This image of Mark and Nancy Miller, captured together in their element, is one of those moments. What you see here is not just a prosthetic adjustment or a conversation in progress. You are witnessing the birthplace of The Amputee Center all over again.

In the most authentic, unscripted conversations, between them this center was born. The passion and deep expertise of the owners of a prosthetic office who recognized a gap. A need for specific,Amputee focused, human-centered care. Not rushed. Not transactional. But intentional.

Here we see an adjustment to a double amputee’s prosthetic legs paired with something just as vital. A deep, honoring conversation with someone newly navigating limb loss. These are the moments where the real magic happens. Where trust is built. Where fear softens. Where community quietly begins.

Every person is different. Every day is different. Every challenge we face in loss is exchanged for the possibility of connection and belonging. But how often do you find professionals willing to slow down, to listen fully, to honor the whole human in front of them?

As Executive Director, I have the privilege of living inside this passion and witnessing this magic daily. One of my favorite quotes from Mark yesterday says it all:
“Rolling in and walking out !”

There are quiet days too. Days full of paperwork, grit, frustration, vision-casting, coordination, and behind-the-scenes work where the message could easily get lost. But the magic never does. It is always happening. Growing. Expanding.

Yesterday, it unfolded minute by minute as new faces entered the Center for the very first time. Parents. Family members. Support systems. People who walked in carrying uncertainty and walked out with relief.

I could go on forever about the work Mark and Nancy have done. But this image captures something most people never get to witness. The heart of it all. ❤️

A moment of rare magic.
And a gratitude beyond words
