Over the past few weeks, I was fortunate to be featured by ABC15 and Arizona’s Family as I prepare for my return to PBA competition after more than 30 years away from the sport.
The television stories were fantastic, but as anyone who has ever done an interview knows, there’s always more that doesn’t make the final cut.
In this special solo episode of the We’re Not Stumped podcast, I share some of the stories, organizations, and experiences that didn’t make it into the TV segments, including:
• The mission behind the We’re Not Stumped podcast
• Joe & Marie Bolland’s Helping Hands and supporting people with limb loss and limb differences
• Enable Review and helping people make informed prosthetic care decisions
• Why this comeback is about much more than bowling
The bowling ball may have opened the door, but the real story is about service, community, resilience, and making the most of the opportunities life gives us.
Have a stump and a smile!
