As many of you know, I lost my leg to bone cancer As many of you know, I lost my leg to bone cancer when I was 10. I waited until I was 26 years old before I received the freedom to run. Was I just really unlucky? Or is this standard of care the norm? I've been asking myself these questions over the past three years, and it turns out, I am not the exception. This is how our healthcare system treats individuals with disabilities: as second-class citizens. #WeJustFeltLikeRunning is a critical campaign to expose this truth and challenge the status quo. Over the next two months, we will be sharing stories of individuals who, just like me, have been systematically denied access to an active life and forced to rely on charity to exercise. Here is a sampling of these incredible people: Zimri Solis @zimrisolis11, Amy Bream @onelegtostandon, Patrick Pressgrove @phtptxclsv, and Megan Harmon @pct_amputee are just a glimpse into the life of an amputee. What all of our stories have in common is this: a systematic denial to restore our full mobility and potential. Many of us have waited decades. All of us have relied on charity to do so. We are not charity cases. We are deserving of the healthcare we need to be physically active, just like everyone else. It is time we recognize that it is not our disability that makes us disabled. It is our healthcare system. Help us upend this status quo through our campaign. You can help us right now in two easy ways (LINKS IN BIO): 1) Sign our petition! We are close to 2,000 signatures and we need your help to ask Congress to uphold the rights of Americans with disabilities to exercise. 2) Register for our virtual race on October 3rd to help us deliver this petition in a really unique way to Congress. All types of miles count, not just running! If these stories resonated with you, and you have one of your own to share, please send me a DM so that we can collect and use these stories in a really powerful way.

Super exciting update!! Earlier this week Senator Super exciting update!! Earlier this week Senator Marsha Blackburn @marshablackburn and Senator Tammy Duckworth @senduckworth introduced the Access to Assistive Technology and Devices for Americans Study Act. This bill is the first of its kind, and the first one IN SEVEN YEARS that directly addresses access challenges for the limb loss and limb difference community. This is being led by the @amputeecoalition and we at #ForrestStump could not be more excited with the potential this legislation has for the community. This bill would commission a study through the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to provide credible, actionable data for policymakers to make informed decisions that will improve the lives of people with limb loss. Barriers to care, gaps in coverage, and disparities between populations would be investigated... including, potentially, access to activity-specific prosthetics, such as running blades! This is a monumental first step and is directly in line with our #WeJustFeltLikeRunning campaign!! We have the stories. We know the community has access challenges. Now, we can look into the data to help show it! Our work is not yet done though! This bill has just been introduced and it needs cosponsors in the Senate. You can help right now by contacting your Senators and asking them to cosponsor S.4343. The Amputee Coalition’s template is super simple and easy to use, and already pre-written. Will you take 2 minutes to help?

Challenge accepted. #womensupportingwomen • Beh Challenge accepted. #womensupportingwomen • Behind every solo photo is a tribe of women cheering, supporting, educating, advocating, and fighting for equity. #ForrestStump is a testament to that from our very founding. • These trendy challenges, however, often skip over needed awareness, and fail to promote taking action. So, I hope you’ll both learn and take action from mine. • I’m a woman, but I am also a #disabled woman. And this is a very important distinction. • Many of you know about the federal civil rights law #TitleIX which eliminated discrimination on the basis of sex in education and expanded sports opportunities for women. Before Title IX, one in 27 girls played sports; today that number is two in five thanks to Title IX. Additionally, since 1972, there has been a 545% increase in the percentage of women playing college sports and a 990% increase in the percentage of women playing high school sports. Title IX has had an incredible impact on women. • But what about disabled women? • Unfortunately, if you are both a woman and have a disability, you have been forgotten. Equitable access to physical activity, sport, and exercise does not exist if you meet this intersectional criteria. • If we can pass a law that requires equitable sports opportunities for boys and girls, then we can certainly pass a law that requires equitable access for “disabled bodies” and “able bodies” alike. • If you’re a woman, or a man, and have benefited from the promise of Title IX, have benefited from access to sport and inclusion in exercise, then I urge you to sign our petition for The Rights of Americans With Disabilities To Exercise!! It’s time for our community to be included! No woman is free until all women are free!

30 years ago on July 26, 1990, the Americans With 30 years ago on July 26, 1990, the Americans With Disabilities Act #ADA was signed into law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability. Yet, three decades later this promise of full inclusion in society is yet to be fulfilled. Today, we joined in the @rompglobal movement to celebrate the ADA and also say #WeStillClimb because there is still a lot of work to do in America to fight for #disabilityrights and end the continued discrimination that keeps us from achieving equal opportunities. Myself @deepal9 and @mallorieruns were joined by our partners and friends in solidarity. We climbed Mt Ellinor (6.5mi, 3400 elev gain)! It was breathtaking, challenging, and we even saw some mountain goats 🐐(the highlight of the day!). Having the opportunity to hike this together as amputees and to support one another was just what we needed to feel validated and empowered to keep fighting for our rights to full inclusion! We’re excited to keep this momentum going with our campaign #WeJustFeltLikeRunning to call for the rights of Americans with disabilities to exercise (link in bio to get involved!). Huge kudos to #ROMP for their support of #ForrestStump and for their work for the disability community. #whatsyourmountain #rompglobal #runforreststump #ourrighttoexercise #keepmoving #climb #hiking #hike #unlikelyhikers #washington #olympicnationalpark #disabledandproud #amputee #prosthetic #bladerunner #run #runner #justkeeprunning #mountellinor #mountaingoat #beauty #nature #views

I’ll be doing my FIRST Instagram LIVE at Noon PT I’ll be doing my FIRST Instagram LIVE at Noon PT with the one and only @lpizzski!! LP and I met two years ago when she called me up on the phone and asked “Do you want to climb a volcano?” 🌋😳 Definitely a unique way to meet someone. Naturally, I said yes... and the rest was history! Of course the reason I said yes was because of what that climb was for: @rompglobal mission for amputees and better access to prosthetics! This Sunday, ROMP is leading a movement called #WeStillClimb and amputees and supporters from all over the world will be joining in. I’ll be hiking Mt Ellinor here in WA with #WeJustFeltLikeRunning teammates including @deepal9 and @mallorieruns as a celebration of the ADA. LP and I will also be talking about #ForrestStump and our #WeJustFeltLikeRunning campaign for disability rights. How it got started, what we are fighting for!

WOW, WOW, WOW! Thank you all for your incredible s WOW, WOW, WOW! Thank you all for your incredible support of our petition for the rights of Americans with disabilities to exercise. I read through some of the comments today and was blown away. I can't tell you enough how much this means to me and to our entire team... to feel validated, to feel supported, to feel that we are one step closer to change! We are at 350 signatures!! Will you help us get to 500 signatures by 7/24? The momentum is gaining and because we are such a grassroots initiative we really need your support to market this petition. Share it with your friends on Facebook and email, text it to your friends. Link in bio!

In a day, over 200 people have already signed our In a day, over 200 people have already signed our petition! As a truly grassroots initiative, this is amazing. I know we can keep the momentum going and really make a difference. It’s time to give the disability community the attention and spotlight they deserve, especially since July is #disabilitypridemonth! Did you even know it was Disability Pride Month? I honestly didn’t and that says something. When I think about “pride” and “disability” I honestly think about the mental and emotional pain I experienced growing up. I was not proud of who I was. I was embarrassed with my leg. Going out in public with shorts on was the most anxiety inducing task; I couldn’t handle knowing that every single person I passed on the street, or in a mall, or at a park would be staring at me. Of course not all the stares were mean stares, but I did not want to stand out. That was because I wasn’t proud of the reason I stood out. Well things have certainly changed! I am incredibly proud to be an amputee, to have a disability. And I will continue to flaunt what I got until my dying day! I’m proud because I feel part of an amazing community; I’m proud because I wear my resiliency on my sleeve; I’m proud because being different means I bring a unique perspective to the table. Part of this confidence has also come from finding my athleticism and having the prosthetics I need. Having a prosthesis that allows you to participate and be confident, that builds that sense of pride. That’s why this petition is so important. I know there are other kids out there just like me that aren’t proud of who they are. They are trying to hide. Providing an avenue for sport and physical activity builds confidence; being provided the equipment you need to be independent and successful builds confidence. So when we say this is discrimination, it’s discrimination on so many levels. It’s not only a medical need, it’s a self esteem need! I hope you’ll help me celebrate Disability Pride Month by speaking up for our community. Sign our petition, get involved in our race!

Today was an amazing first day for our launch of t Today was an amazing first day for our launch of the #WeJustFeltLikeRunning campaign! Thanks to those of you who have already purchased your tickets and signed our petition! This means the world to us. Together we are making change. We are excited to share more this week and in the two months leading up to race day. Our goal: 1,000 racers on Oct 3, and 5,000 signatures on our petition! Can we make it? I know that together we can accomplish anything. Natalie and I got out for a bike ride today and it felt amazing!! We have been cooped up inside the past five days getting all the final edits for the #WeJustFeltLikeRunning launch day and it feels so nice to finally get out. We repped our Forrest Stump green jerseys and it brought back so many memories from our inaugural event in 2017. It’s been three incredible years since then and this mission to deliver a petition to Congress in DC for the rights of our community has been a dream in the making in that time.

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the enactm This week marks the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legally prohibiting the discrimination of those with disabilities. However, if you’ve been following along on my journey, you know that discrimination for the disability community still exists. It’s why I quit my job three years ago and took on a 1,500 mile triathlon to bring awareness to this issue. The medical equipment and care I need to be physically active - for example running blades and waterproof prosthetics - are considered “not medically necessary,” “a convenience,” “a luxury” for people like me. This actively keeps individuals with disabilities from living physically active, healthy, independent lives!! No one should have to do what I did, or still do, to get access to what I need to achieve equal opportunities in our society. It’s time for change. Being an American means an ingrained pride in the values of freedom, justice, and equality. A pride for being able to speak up and share when things are not right. Through our campaign #WeJustFeltLikeRunning we are speaking up and calling for change! On October 3, I hope you’ll join me as we attempt to virtually run 2,758 miles from Seattle to DC to deliver a signed petition to Congress. I’m asking you, yes YOU, to help by: registering as a racer, pledging a number of miles to our goal, and signing our petition calling for Congress to deem access to adaptive equipment a right to those who need it! Then help us spread the word! We can’t do this alone. We need everyone’s support to bring this message to Congress.

In this digital age, I would never have imagined h In this digital age, I would never have imagined how incredibly satisfying a single piece of paper could be. Yet, this document is one for the books! Forrest Stump is officially a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit, and we could not be more excited. This moment has been one our team has been working towards since our inaugural awareness event in 2017. I can’t thank @k_athleen.wang, @natharold, and my dear mom enough for the commitment they gave during that 1,500 mile quest. They helped start it all! When we first started, our focus was solely on the prosthetic technology amputees need to run. Over the past three years, we've realized our mission is much bigger than this. I reflect fondly on all these photos and the incredible people I’ve met along the way. Others just like me who - no matter their disability - face similar barriers to being physically active. Whether it’s a prosthesis, wheelchair, orthosis, or sighted guide, what we need to be physically active is out of reach. It's time that we recognize this not as a charity issue, but as a civil rights issue. Our right to exercise. I’m excited to share that next Monday, July 20th, 2020, Forrest Stump will be launching a national advocacy campaign called #WeJustFeltLikeRunning for disability rights. Coinciding with the week celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), Forrest Stump will be calling for a 2.0 on the ADA. We will be asking for your support of our online petition, which will publicly call for “The Rights of Americans With Disabilities To Exercise.” We will be also be inviting you to help us deliver this petition in a really unique way: a virtual race across America. We are excited to share more soon on what that involves and how you can help!

I’ve shared my personal stance on #BlackLivesMat I’ve shared my personal stance on #BlackLivesMatter and also know it’s important to share where we stand on this as an organization. #ForrestStump stands with Black Lives Matter. We believe Black Lives matter. We believe Black Disabled Lives matter. And we realize we must do better for ALL individuals with disabilities, especially #BIPOC, who are disproportionately disadvantaged. That's why we are answering the call from the National Alliance of Multicultural Disabled Advocates (#NAMD) and @kerigray90 for white-led disability organizations to actively engage in processes that build inclusion of all marginalized groups in our community. We are pledging to build an anti-racist organization that will support and serve every member of our beautifully diverse community. You can read our statement on #BLM via our newsletter.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes about my Thank you to everyone for the well wishes about my leg! Your thoughts, positive energy, and prayers have been felt and have made the past couple weeks much more bearable despite the disruption in my mobility. I did some mile long walks on my arm crutches (bike gloves and taped wrists did the trick!) and got in my first open water swim of the season (is anyone else afraid of seaweed? 😝😂🤣)!! A week and a half later, the swelling in my stump has finally gone down and I was able to get my leg on and walk again. So so so grateful for that! Those first few steps were bliss. I’m still having socket fit issues though and the pain has persisted. I’ve had this socket/leg for 3 years and in that time I’ve been more active than I’ve ever been in my life. As a result, I’ve seen some changes to the shape of my stump, which has continued to atrophy year over year since I was a little 10 year old. Any little change, or the loss or gain of a few pounds, makes a difference for an amputee, so you have to be on it like a hawk! If you don’t, the result is what I experienced... basically the socket walls ramming into my bony little stump while putting a hundred plus pounds of pressure on it and causing some major bruising and discomfort to the point it said to me “No more! We’re not wearing that thing! Get it off!” So the message has been heard and now I’m working to remedy the situation. Very grateful to my partner @natharold who has been willing to make some adjustments to the socket and I’ll be going in to the clinic for more next week. Shout out to our favorite orgs who we are repping in the second pic in the workshop...they keep me and other athletes with disabilities active and included!! @team_catapult @cafoundation @dare2tri_ #runforreststump #swim #openwater #roka #lakewashington #seattle #swimming #justkeepswimming #swimmersofinstagram #triathlete #bike #run #amputee #disability #disabled #disabledathlete #disabilitysport #prosthetics #keepgoing #goals #nevergiveup #inspiration #tbt
Trying to stay positive and keep smiling despite b Trying to stay positive and keep smiling despite being unable to use any of my prostheses currently! This really has put into perspective how much I rely on them and the enormous value they give my life. It’s definitely been a challenging few days so far with an unknown of what’s going on. A portion of my stump has swollen to the point I can no longer fit into any of my sockets and is extremely painful. We are thinking it’s either bursitis or a bone bruise caused by repeated trauma in the socket. Many thanks to my partner @natharold who has been such a support during all of this and has continued to make adjustments to my prostheses. I’m currently using hand crutches outside and a wheelie stool in my apartment to get around, which is kind of fun, but if I’m really being honest, it’s extremely challenging. Mad props to individuals who use this on a daily... teach me your ways and how to keep your wrists from hurting so much?? My training has gone out the door and it’s time to get creative. Swimming has always been a great option for when I’ve had leg issues in the past so I’m hoping to dust off my wetsuit and finally take my first swim since COVID-19 started. This will be an interesting week and I hope this will be healed up soon! It has definitely given me pause to reflect on all I am grateful for. #disability #awareness #keepgoing #amputee #prosthetics #runforreststump #grateful #stump #run #bike #swim #triathlon #pivot #goals #iloverunning #runner #train #modify #staypositive #motivation #inspiration #change #perspective #mentalhealth #stayactive #bladerunner #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #disabilityrights
“First and foremost, it’s critical for every A “First and foremost, it’s critical for every American to stop saying terms like, ‘I’m not racist.’ And I think it’s critically important for Americans to admit the racist ideas that they have likely been raised to believe. It’s critically important for Americans to admit the racist policies they’ve supported that have led to inequality and injustice and death. And it’s critically important for them to admit the times in which they were being racist because there’s no way they can change themselves if they’re still in that denial. So to be anti-racist is to admit when we’re being racist. And then not only that admission, but then we challenge those racist ideas. We adopt antiracist ideas that say the problem is power and policy when there is inequity, not people. And then we spend our time, we spend our funds, we spend our energy challenging racist policy and power.” #ibramxkendi #howtobeanantiracist #blackouttuesday
