Show Your Mettle Challenge
Each day, more than 500 Americans lose a limb; the Amputee Coalition is the leading national organization working to ensure that amputees do not go through this journey alone. Join us in celebrating Limb Loss Awareness Month with Show Your Mettle Day on April 27!
GET INVOLVED!
Join the Show Your Mettle Challenge by posting a photo showing your mettle (or “metal”), on the Amputee Coalition’s Facebook page.
WillowWood has pledged to donate $1 for every photo uploaded to the Amputee Coalition’s Facebook page up to $10,000 during Limb Loss Awareness Month. Your challenge is to submit a photo of yourself showing your mettle. We have four categories where you can submit a picture to show your mettle. You can submit one photo for each category!
- Individual
- Family, Friends, and Community
- Support Groups/Facilities
- Workplace
The most liked pictures from each category will receive recognition on the Amputee Coalition’s website, Facebook page, in the July/August issue of inMotion magazine, and in the 2013 Annual Report.

“People often feel uncomfortable or shy when broaching the subject of limb loss. I am excited about this unifying event which will foster opportunities to educate others about amputees living within the community.”
