This May marks a deeply meaningful milestone: 20 years since I co-founded the Range of Motion Project (ROMP). Over these two decades, Iโve had the extraordinary privilege of helping thousands of people regain their mobility, dignity, and independence. Having reached this anniversary, I want to share that May 31st will be my final day as Executive Director of ROMP. Over the past year, Iโve worked closely with our Board of Directors to ensure a thoughtful and strategic leadership transition. On June 1st,๐

Many of you already know Jon, heโs been with ROMP for 9 years and has played a critical role in shaping and growing our programs. His vision is bold, and his commitment to this mission is unwavering. I couldnโt be more confident in the direction ROMP is headed under his leadership.
ROMPโs next chapter wonโt be easy. Today, more than 1,000 people are on our waitlist. These are folks in Guatemala and Ecuador living with amputation, who qualify for ROMPโs prosthetic care, physical therapy, mental health services, and job placement support. With your continued support, and Jonโs leadership, I know we can meet this challenge and expand the life-changing ROMP model to even more communities around the world.
While my role will change, my commitment to ROMPโs mission and vision will not. I will continue to support ROMP in new ways, championing the cause of mobility and access to quality prosthetic care wherever my journey takes me.
Thank you for walking this journey with me. I hope youโll continue to stand with ROMP and Jonathan as this incredible mission enters its next powerful phase.
With gratitude,
