AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 9, 2022 – When he was just three, Jeremiah Canady had a lower limb amputation due to a lawnmower accident, but that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his passions. Today, as an active 8-year-old, one of those passions is football, and thanks to a new prosthesis fit by his Austin-area Hanger Clinic prosthetist Brittany Jones, L/CPO, Canady is back on the gridiron.
Media was recently invited to the Central Austin Hanger Clinic location to meet Canady and see his football skills in action using his custom-made carbon fiber socket and his first ever high-activity foot, and resulted in coverage by the following:
- KTBC-TV (FOX)
- Lexington Leader
