When he was just 1-years-old, Joseph Alvarado of Houston contracted a life-threatening bacterial infection that resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee and multiple fingertips.

Joseph still loves playing football and soccer however, and his new gift from the Ossur and Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) Running and Mobility Clinic will allow him to do so for many years to come.

The clinic was designed to help residents enhance their physical conditioning and participate in fun fitness and mobility drills.
