Football season is in full swing, and this year, osteosarcoma survivor Donnie Smith is repping his favorite team in a new way. š¦æš
A few years ago, Donnie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that resulted in the amputation of his right leg. With help from his Tallahassee, FL team and clinician Tim Larson, Donnie is regaining the strength to walk again using a hip disarticulation prosthesis.
Knowing his love for the Dallas Cowboys, the Tallahassee team surprised Donnie during his final fitting with a Cowboys-themed socket! āI was not expecting them to make it happen, but they surprised me on the day of delivery,ā Donnie shared. āHanger Clinic has treated me so well. From the office staff to the clinicians and residents, they are so wonderful.ā šā
Donnie believes hard work and determination are the key to life and has dreams of competing in the Special Olympics someday. Weāre rooting for you, Donnie! š
