Accessibility Isn’t Extra—It’s Essential

Accessibility should never be an afterthought. Yet for many amputees and people with disabilities, it still is.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day reminds us of a crucial truth: our environments either include people—or exclude them.

Think of these daily barriers amputees face:

  • No ramps or elevators in public places

  • Doorways too narrow for crutches or wheelchairs

  • No seating or adaptive equipment at community gyms

  • Public transit that skips accessibility standards altogether

These aren't inconveniences. They’re injustices.

At Less Leg More Heart, we work to change that by:

  • Advocating for equitable environments in fitness, housing, education, and work

  • Educating communities about inclusive design

  • Funding accessible tools like speech-to-text devices, grab bars, or mobile ramps

Accessibility doesn’t just mean a physical ramp—it means removing the emotional, digital, and systemic barriers too.

This May 15, we challenge every organization, business, and community space to ask: Who are we excluding, and how can we do better?

And if you’re an amputee struggling with accessibility, reach out. We see you. And we’ll fight for you.
