In this episode of the We’re not Stumped podcast, I have the honor of speaking with all four executive members of the Limb Care Foundation. The mission of Limb Care Foundation is to promote multidisciplinary approaches to limb salvage, function, and patient quality of life through relevant & meaningful education, advocacy, and outreach. The Limb Care Foundation and their executive members are driven by a desire to provide preventive limb care to those in need and educate the future generation of health care providers on the importance of limb health.
They are a DMEPOS (Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics/Orthotics & Supplies) donation center. They will collect your unused or gently used medical equipment and get it in the hands of someone in desperate need. See their website linked below for more information. They also aid the homeless. The Limb Care Foundation is dedicated to reaching out to homeless communities and providing them with much needed medical equipment and supplies that help to promote limb health and awareness. This population is very susceptible to amputations that could largely be avoided with proper care and preventative measures.
Executive Board:
Laduan Smedley, Jr., CPO – President, Co-Founder
Aarron Flowers DPM, AACFAS – Vice President, Co-Founder
Brandon U. Edenedo, PT, DPT – Treasurer, Co-Founder
Quincy Amarikwa, 13 Year MLS/USL Pro – Secretary, Co-Founder

Ten years after cancer surgery, Mike Bolland found himself on the field at an Arizona Cardinals game, representing all cancers during the NFL’s Crucial Catch recognition. In this personal episode of We’re Not Stumped, Mike reflects on the journey from surgery and radiation to pursuing two goals: performing stand-up comedy and bowling on tour one more time. Those decisions helped lead to motivational speaking, a return to competition on the PBA60 Tour, and his message, “Take the Shot Anyway.” Mike also honors the podcast guests who have shared their own cancer journeys, including those who experienced limb loss, and the people whose support helped him through treatment and recovery.
In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, Neomi Flores joins host Mike Bolland for an in-person conversation about traveling and EmpowerFest. Neomi is missing her left leg below the knee and brings her own perspective to the conversation. Neomi and Mike discuss experiences on the road and the connections made through events like EmpowerFest. Recorded together in person, this episode explores the value of meeting people and sharing experiences within the disability community. Have you attended EmpowerFest? What’s your favorite travel experience? We’d love to hear from you.
Everyone has a story worth sharing—and at the 2027 Amputee Coalition National Conference, those stories will take center stage. It’s an honor for We're Not Stumped host Mike Bolland to serve as host and help create a welcoming space for the community’s voices. “Story Slam: Where Every Story Finds Its Light” brings the community together for an evening of laughter, connection, and five-minute stories. Twenty storytellers will be selected at random to share a moment from their lives. There’s no competition, no judging, and no expectation that a story must be inspirational or about limb loss or limb difference. In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, Mike Bolland introduces the event and shares what attendees can look forward to.
