In this episode of “We’re Not Stumped,” we feature the inspiring Todd Key, a one-legged cyclist who demonstrated extraordinary determination and resilience. Todd’s journey began at age 7 with a severe injury to his right hand, followed by the amputation of his right leg due to muscle cancer at 17. Despite years of frustration and confusion, Todd never gave up.
In 2009, after 33 years of being cancer-free, Todd returned to cycling. Initially riding just to the movies, he quickly fell in love with biking and eventually commuted 12 miles to work. However, the strain on his left side became unbearable as he increased his distances. Not one to be deterred, Todd sought help from Airpark Bikes in Scottsdale. With manager Jason Suarez’s assistance, he customized his bike with a special seat, handlebars, and a prosthetic socket, enabling him to ride up to 100 miles pain-free.
Todd’s goal was to share this system with other amputees, providing them the freedom and joy of cycling. His fulfillment in life then focused on benefiting others. Todd’s perseverance and innovative spirit came to light when he co-headlined the 2011 Tour de Scottsdale, finishing the 70-mile tour just 30 minutes behind the able-bodied champion.
Todd shared his incredible story, the challenges he faced, and his mission to inspire and support other amputees in their cycling journeys.

In this powerful and reflective episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland welcomes Terry Tucker, author of Four Truths and a Lie, for a deep conversation about mindset, mental toughness, and what it truly means to live a significant life.

In this eye-opening episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland speaks with Dr. Kevin Lee, a vascular and interventional radiologist at Georgia Endovascular, about why so many amputations don’t have to happen. Dr. Lee explains how misdiagnosed or untreated peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the leading causes of limb loss—especially among veterans, older adults, and people living with diabetes. He shares how minimally invasive endovascular procedures can restore blood flow, reduce pain, and help patients avoid amputation when disease is caught early.
