My guest in this episode of the We’re Not Stumped podcast is the closest to me than any other guest I’ve had the pleasure to have on. Her name is Angie Sandow, and just like me, she was born without a right hand. What an honor to have her on! As she always does, in this episode she passionately shares her experiences of living with a limb difference and surviving breast cancer to encourage and motivate others.
Angie founded JUSTRIDIN to share her tales of determination which she does with a sense of humor and conviction. Angie has played in bands for years – her AC/DC Tribute band BARE RUMP and her classic rock band LEFTY AND THE GOONS. She is full of energy and passion which will inspire you to realize that anything is possible.
As well as limb difference, she survived a cancer scare in 2014, and this prompted her to try something else a little different: Ride a motorcycle! So, jump on this podcast, open up the throttle and listen to Angie tell her amazing story!

In this episode of We're Not Stumped, we celebrate two incredible individuals who embody perseverance and resilience. First, we highlight Parker Byrd, the East Carolina University baseball player who made history as the first NCAA baseball athlete to compete with a prosthetic leg. Parker's journey began with a devastating boating accident that could have ended his athletic career. Instead, he refused to let adversity define him. Through relentless determination and hard work, Parker returned to the field, proving that setbacks can be stepping stones to even greater achievements. His story is an inspiration to athletes everywhere, showing that passion and persistence can overcome even the toughest obstacles. Next, we turn to the impactful work of the Kirstie Ennis Foundation. Founded by Marine veteran and amputee Kirstie Ennis, the organization is dedicated to empowering individuals through outdoor adventures, education, and adaptive sports. Kirstie’s life changed forever when she lost her leg in a helicopter crash while serving in Afghanistan. Rather than letting the tragedy hold her back, she became a world-class mountaineer and advocate, using her platform to uplift others facing adversity. Through her foundation, she continues to inspire and support those navigating their own challenges, proving that resilience knows no limits.
Linda Moore doesn’t just want to walk again—she wants to dance. In this inspiring episode of We're Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland sits down with Linda, a 69-year-old from Rantoul, Illinois, whose determination and humor carried her through a challenging above-knee amputation and intense rehabilitation. After losing her leg in November 2024, she underwent three weeks of rigorous therapy at OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center, learning to balance, strengthen her residual limb, and regain mobility. Linda’s therapist, Deidre Murphy, recalls her positive attitude, resilience, and ability to turn even difficult moments into fun, making her an unforgettable patient. Now Linda is preparing to take the next step—adjusting to a prosthetic leg. She knows the journey isn’t easy, but with her unwavering optimism, she’s determined to dance her limitations away. Tune in for an uplifting conversation about perseverance, the power of a positive mindset, and why Linda believes attitude is everything.
