Colin’s leg

Challenge:

“How can we contribute to disability sports and highlight the function of high-tech medical devices?”

Response:

We assisted in the funding of a new carbon fibre racing leg for Irish para-cycling legend Colin Lynch. We learned a lot about the rules governing prosthetic legs for cycling — did you know they are considered part of the bike and not the person? Colin raced the leg at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games winning Silver for Ireland.
