More Heart in Every Step
Less Leg More Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built by amputees, for amputees. We provide free peer mentorship, holistic care, fitness programs, and home accessibility support to anyone living with limb loss. No cost. No insurance required. No one turned away.
OUR MISSION
We Provide Support, Supplies, And Services To Improve Amputees' Quality Of Life
Our mission is to empower, support, and unite individuals and families facing the journey of amputation. Through peer mentorship, holistic care, physical rehabilitation, financial assistance, and community building, we ensure no one walks this path alone. Every program we run is free, personalized, and designed around what amputees actually need.
Built from Experience.
Driven by Purpose.
Less Leg More Heart was founded by Tina Hurley, a nationally certified Physician Assistant, a below-knee amputee, and someone who turned her own hardest chapter into a lifeline for others.
After years of calf discomfort, foot numbness, and over a dozen surgeries, Tina was diagnosed with a rare vascular disorder called Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome. In 2016, she became a leg amputee. Every day tasks became impossible. Anxiety, depression, and fear took hold.
But Tina was reminded that there is tremendous strength in vulnerability. She reclaimed her community and her physicality — in part through a local CrossFit gym. After thirteen total surgeries, she discovered something that changed her direction: life is not about having ten fingers and ten toes. It is about developing inner constancy, building virtue in yourself, and being of service to the world.
Using her medical training and her firsthand experience as a patient, Tina founded Less Leg More Heart as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — built on four pillars: peer mentorship, medical advocacy, funding for holistic care, and home services during recovery.
"There is tremendous strength in vulnerability."

OUR VISION
We envision a world where no amputee faces their journey without support. Where every person living with limb loss has access to a peer who understands, care that goes beyond what insurance covers, the physical resources to stay active and strong, and a home that is safe and accessible.
What We're Building
WE ARE WORKING TOWARD A FUTURE WHERE
The next amputee will not lose further weight from lack of nutrition.
We will provide supplements.
The next trauma survivor will not wither after leaving rehab.
We will provide a gym membership.
The next patient will not feel lost, confused, or alone in medical decision-making.
We will advise, consult, advocate, and encourage.
The next rock bottom will have a softer landing.
We commit to be their cushion.
You don't need both feet
to leave your mark in this world
Why Less Leg More Heart
Founded by an Amputee, for Amputees
Tina Hurley is both a medical professional and an amputee. That combination of clinical expertise and lived experience shaped every program we offer. We do not guess at what amputees need. We know.
Personalized, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every support plan is customized. We assess where you are right now, what you need right now, and revisit your plan on an ongoing basis as your needs change. This is not a one-time care package.
It is a relationship.
Always Free. No Barriers.
There are no income requirements, no insurance requirements, and no cost to receive our services. We believe financial barriers should never stand between someone and the support they need to live well after limb loss.
Whole-Person Care, Not Just Physical
Limb loss affects every dimension of life: physical, emotional, financial, and social. Our four programs address all of them — from a peer mentor who understands your emotional journey to funding for home modifications that restore independence.
FOUR PROGRAMS. ONE MISSION.
Everything we do falls under four programs designed to support amputees across every dimension of their journey.
