Ernesto - Doing the impossible as an amputee

We met an incredible man named Ernesto.  He is an amputee who does not let that hold him back from having grand adventures!  He lives in Venezuela and loves to hike El Toro in Avila National Park!
“I wrote to you back in September to tell you how grateful I was for your customer service and your crutches. I shared that I had several mountain projects in mind for the end of November, and of course I planned to tackle them using my Millennial Medical forearm crutches. I told you that if everything came together, I would send photos and proof of the journey. At the time, it was just an idea, an ambitious plan involving higher, more demanding mountains. Something truly unprecedented for me. Well, the timing changed, but the dream didn’t. Instead of November, the climb happened on Thursday, December 5th. That day, I reached the summit of El Toro Peak in the Venezuelan Andes, 15,600 feet above sea level, using the new Millennial Medical crutches. They performed flawlessly. They were my support, my stability, and my confidence on every step of that ascent. Thank you, my friends. And thank you, Millennial Medical, for creating equipment that makes goals like this possible.”
