Congrats, Dan! You are a fighter and an inspiration.
We appreciate all the work that's being done by Less Leg More Heart
Meet Dan!
Former US Navy SEAL Team 4. Decorated combat veteran. Devoted father. Survivor of a crash so severe, doctors said, “Most people wouldn’t have made it.”
On Labor Day 2018, Dan’s life changed forever. A seizure caused by a combat-related TBI led to a near-fatal accident, resulting in the loss of both legs, devastating injuries to his wrist and hip, and months of grueling recovery. He endured over 50 units of blood transfusions, multiple life-saving surgeries, and the kind of pain most could never imagine.
When Dan was fighting for his life, Less Leg More Heart stepped in — organizing a GoFundMe that raised over $200,000, setting up a hospital command center for his family, advocating for his care, and providing ongoing mentorship, prosthetic support, and specialized equipment to help him reclaim his independence.
Today, Dan continues to defy the odds. He’s a graduate of the Adaptive Training Foundation’s program, has lost 55 pounds through training, and is working toward walking again with new prosthetics — all so he can be the best dad possible to his son, Ronin.
💛 Dan’s story is a testament to the power of hope, community, and action.
But there are so many more amputees waiting for their own chance at recovery, dignity, and purpose.
You can be their lifeline.
Donate today to help us provide life-changing support to amputees across the country — from medical advocacy to adaptive equipment, mentorship, and beyond.
