About Us

Miracle Limbs-Courage in Motion, a Florida non-profit corporation is the vision of Bob Ayres an above the knee amputee. This organization provides support to his fellow amputees so that they may more easily navigate the physical, psychological and financial hurdles that accompany the experience of losing a limb. Miracle Limbs answers a severe need not fully addressed in the non-profit community.

Currently there are more American soldiers suffering amputations from the Mid-East conflicts than any time since the Civil War. In addition, the number of amputees due to diabetes, congenital birth defects, and accidents is ever increasing. There are 235 new amputees every day in the US, and every 31 seconds globally, from diabetes alone. Every week over 3000 people lose a limb in the USA.

Our mission is to actively seek pre and post surgery patients, providing them full and tailored support in the areas of professional and peer counseling, financial assistance when needed, local support group development, and referrals to credible and well-respected specialists and organizations to support their emotional and physical needs.

Our goal for the ride this year is to raise $75,000 to continue the work of the foundation and the amputees we are assisting. At the heart of this year's ride, will be Jamarion Styles from West Palm Beach. Jamarion is a cheerful and gregarious little 6 year old who lost both arms at the age of 8 months. His insurance would only pay for hooks on each arm and Jamarion chose not to wear them, learning to write with his feet instead.

Our goal is to provide Jamarion with two myoelectric arms. Once Miracle Limbs can purchase the advanced components, Pediatric Prosthetics from Houston has agreed to rebuild his arms with these computer components at no charge, as his growth demands.

Registration is $35 per riderover 11 years,  $10 per non-rider and all children 10 and under are FREE. Pre-registered rider bags can be picked up at TREK store in Naples on Friday, March 5 or at the event.
