A Message From Our Founder, Ali Truwit

In May 2023, a shark attack changed my life forever. I lost my foot and part of my leg. Swimming saved my life. Access to well-fitting prosthetics and the Paralympic movement helped me rebuild it. Through my recovery, I realized how unaffordable prosthetics are, and how often they are not covered by insurance. Stronger Than You Think exists to support women and girls in need of financial assistance for prosthetics, to provide funding for life-saving water-safety skills, and to support the Paralympic movement. Stronger Than You Think is my way of paying forward all the support I received.

Mentorship played a critical role in my recovery, and is a cornerstone of the work we do at Stronger Than You Think with recipients of prosthetics. I’m so passionate about these needs, I donated my medal earnings from the 2024 Paris Paralympics, and donate much of my speaking fees to Stronger Than You Think. I hope you will join me in supporting the life-changing work of Stronger Than You Think.

Support Life-Changing Impact

Support Life-Changing Impact

Supporting women and girls with Limb Loss

Prosthetics are life-changing and essential for amputees, but they can also be very costly. Health insurers often limit coverage for prosthetic limbs, leaving amputees without the prosthetics they need to live a full life. Your support ensures that those with limb loss have access to well-fitting prosthetics, enabling mobility, reducing chronic pain, and restoring independence.

Saving Lives Through Water Safety

Drowning is preventable and is the number one cause of death for children aged 0-4 and the number two cause of death for those aged 5-14. Donations fund water safety programs that teach essential swimming skills, equipping individuals with life-saving knowledge and confidence in and around water.

Empowering Paralympic Athletes

Team USA does not receive any government funding. Forty-three percent of Team USA athletes work part- or full-time jobs to support themselves, while 57% earn less than $50,000 annually, making international competitions unaffordable. Your contributions provide athletes with stipends, health insurance, and training support they need to succeed on the world stage. With LA28 approaching, athletes need your support to prepare.
