Amy runs for the Foundation
On May 6-7, Amy Palmiero-Winters, the founder of the One Step Ahead Foundation, took on the inaugural Badwater: Salton Sea 81-mile ultramarathon to raise awareness and funds for the Foundation. The entire race was uphill, with a total elevation gain of 9,000 feet from start to finish. In addition, about half of the race was on dirt, trails, or unpaved roads, adding to the challenge of running through constant wind and rain during the latter half. As part of a three-person team with fellow runners Russ Reinbolt, MD and Nathan Longcrier, Amy ran from Salton City to Palomar Mountain in California in 24:47.

The One Step Ahead Foundation is Helping Raise Funds for the Victims of the Boston Marathon Tragedy
Along with the rest of the world, the One Step Ahead Foundation was shocked and horrified by the events at the Boston Marathon. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
Being that our organization deals specifically with individuals who have suffered limb loss, the fact that a number of people lost limbs hits home with us. To this end, we are working in coordination with a local not-for-profit group that is taking donations to help support the victims of the bombings. The funds we raise will be used to help people whose limbs were amputated as a result of their injuries and will need prosthetics and rehabilitation for their recovery.
