Congenital Limb Difference Podcast Angie Sandow

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!
