At just eight years old, Thomas Fetterman caught polio and was partially-paralyzed. Throughout his stays in various hospitals, including a few months in an iron lung, Thomas maintained a positive attitude. Despite his many challenges and being made aware of the fragility of life at such a young age, he did not despair, always looking for the positive aspects of his experiences. Today Thomas helps others all around the world who have suffered from polio paralysis or similar ailments by designing comfortable and durable crutch tips.
Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your story with us!
