    • About Me

      I'm Colin and I just turned 16. I have a right leg ak amputation. Right now I'm looking for some people for support who might understand what its like to be "differently-abled" ;) It would be fun to meet all kinds of people even those who aren't disabled. Right now I live in california with my aunt uncle and cousins.

      well i would assume it is working.. i couldnt be doing a lot of the things i do now if I hadn't had the ak amputation when i was younger.
