Runner Jérôme Bernard is helping fellow amputees hit the trails by
teaming up with engineers and Salomon to create an affordable
carbon-fiber prosthetic blade.
Bernard´s discovery of running has improved his sense of well-being
and helped maintain his balance, which is especially critical for
someone who´s had both legs and an arm amputated.
After realizing how beneficial running was for him, he wanted to
assist other amputees. However, the biggest barrier for many amputees
is cost.
