Ukrainians running towards recovery: U+ System's 9th test run event

On August 1st, we gathered at Equides Club in Kyiv, Ukraine, where a new group of Ukrainian veterans tested their new prosthetic feet provided by U+ System. 

U+ System, whom we've been partnering with for a long time, hosted another successful event in Ukraine. They provided 17 new veterans with Levitate Forever and running blades.

3 prosthetists from a partnership clinic did all of the installations with support from us, ensuring a perfect fit for every participant. The defenders then put their new prosthetic feet to the test, engaging in stretching exercises together and began running again - most for the first time since their amputations.

The event underscored the vital message from U+ System: "The recovery of Ukraine starts with the recovery of its people." By providing advanced prosthetics, surgeries, physical rehabilitation, and psychosocial support, U+ System profoundly impacts veterans and civilians, helping them regain active and fulfilling lives.

Seeing so many smiles and renewed spirits is always inspiring. We also owe a huge thank you to Direct Relief for making this event possible. Their continuous support of U+ System's mission means the world to Ukrainian individuals and communities alike.

Until next time, Ukraine!
