@elizabethlev Hi Elizabeth, I am researching candidates before I fill out my ballot. I see you are a candidate. I'm unable t find much info on you. Do you have a website or email? Sorry to message through her. Thank you.

2/2: All of whom are looking to gain and share knowledge on how to navigate life as an amputee. Whether you recently lost a limb or you’re a veteran to it, supporting ACA [@AmputeesUSA] is a must. They empower our community to achieve our full potential. Have you ever been?

[Dani Burt @Dani_Burt]

1/2: I recently got back from Amputee Coalition’s National Conference [@AmputeesUSA] held in Tucson, Arizona. This was my 2nd time speaking at this event. Hands down it’s my favorite conference. It’s an incredible feeling to be around so many amputees like myself.

There is no room for inequality in the sport I love. The 2018 Stance ISA World Adaptive Surf Championships is approaching. Women’s rights to earn equal points towards their team total is being decided. Will you be a stand for equality? @ISAsurfing

[Dani Burt @Dani_Burt]

The reaction to the 2018 Billabong Ballito Pro winners podium prize purse discrepancy between men and women empowers me to continue to be a stand for equality. #WomenUp

Stoked to say I placed 2nd at the USA Adaptive Surfing Championships and will be on Team USA for the 4th year in a row. Even more stoked to surf with Hunter and all the other groms next week at CAF’s Junior Seau Foundation Youth Adaptive Surf Camp ❤️🤙🏽❤️

Perspective... Beyond grateful to have this point of view in my life. 📸: Necia Snow

Through CAF’s support I was able to blow past preconceived notions of what a woman with a disability could achieve. CAF didn’t just help me achieve a world title, they helped me see myself again. I’m beyond grateful for that. ❤️ Check out @CAFoundation #Amputee

When the wind’s up and the surf’s down… Stoked to have the Ottobock X3 that can handle it all. 📷 Smiling Avenger #amputee #iamadaptive #amputeegirl

[Dani Burt @Dani_Burt]

😏 Seems minor but when I stumbled across this feature on the X3, my mind was blown. If I keep my knee flexed for a couple seconds it automatically locks so I can completely unload my sound side. It’s called “Intuitive Stance.” The little things

Sometimes you have to stand up. Whether it’s for your sport, gender equality, being a POC, a person with a disability, or all of the above. 📷 Sean Evans (Waterwork Media) #amputee #iamadaptive #amputeegirl

Do I let that stop me? Would you? 🎥: @sweetdaystudio. #amputee #iamadaptive #amputeegirl

Leaning into this week like… 📷 @jettygirlsurf

That moment when everything just seems to line up and fall into place. I think the best feeling in the world is that moment when you get to make all those people who have stood by you and believed in you - proud. 📷: @jettygirlsurf

I love to travel and I’ve learned the hard way that something always goes wrong with my leg. Here’s what I always bring with me: hex keys, extra knee, valve, donning sleeve, tape, ace wrap. What’s in your travel bag? #AmputeeTips

[Dani Burt @Dani_Burt]

I’m not one who tends to look in a full length mirror very often. I just don’t think about it much. But then there are those times I see a full length picture of myself and I can’t help but think, “Dang, I have one leg.” Any other amputees have this feeling? #AmputeeLife

If you told me I would be a World Champion surfer 14 years ago in my hospital bed I would have… https://t.co/EVgKFcxTjU
