Lunching with the Super Pals is always fun, but on one particular occasion recently a Pal showed up on crutches, having broken a bone in her foot. Commiseration ensued from all around the table, everyone sharing some sort of an ‘on-crutches' horror story. Girlawhirl, thinking back to her own episodes on crutches, remembered the worst part of all, sore underarms…
But her Super Pal's crutches were not like any kind of crutches Girlawhirl had ever seen. They were colorful and padded in all the right places and the padded parts were even covered with cool Asian inspired fabric, coordinated to the color of the crutches. The Super Pal explained: these fashionable crutches were from LemonAid Crutches™.
A veteran of two years on crutches, Laurie Johnson created LemonAid Crutches after sprucing up her own pair during her recovery. The Super Pal went on to tell Laurie's story: the plane crash that landed her on crutches also killed her husband and son. The name LemonAid comes from the saying ‘to turn lemons into lemonade,' which led Laurie not just to designer crutches but also to her foundation, Step With Hope.
Funded with half of the profits from LemonAid Crutches, Step With Hope helps people who are coping with the type of overwhelming loss that Laurie experienced.
