In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland shares his candid thoughts on Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month — and why he believes awareness shouldn’t be limited to just one month a year. Born without a right hand, Mike reflects on his lived experiences and how, for decades, many didn’t pay attention to people like him until they themselves became part of the limb loss community.
He challenges listeners to think beyond temporary awareness campaigns and to embrace year-round inclusion, visibility, and support — not just when it becomes personal.
🎙️ A powerful episode about perspective, honesty, and the need for ongoing understanding.
