In this episode, host Mike Bolland delves into the extraordinary journey of Carter Henning, a freshman at Calamus-Wheatland High School in Iowa. Just two months after a devastating snowmobile accident led to the amputation of his left leg, Carter not only returned to the golf course but also ascended to the top spot on his varsity team. His unwavering determination and love for the game have made him a beacon of resilience and inspiration to his teammates and the broader community.

Mike also sheds light on the invaluable work of the Dallas Amputee Network (DAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, mentoring, and guiding amputees, their families, and caregivers in North Texas. Founded in 2002 by Ellen Winchell, who transformed her personal tragedy into a mission of hope, DAN offers resources like the Certified Peer Visitor program and monthly support meetings to promote independence and well-being among amputees.

Tune in to discover how Carter's story and organizations like DAN exemplify the incredible strength of the human spirit and the profound impact of community support.
