THE DEVIN RICHARDS STORY
"ALL I WANT IS A PAIR OF NIKES"
In 2005, on one of our medical mission trips to St. Vincent, we met a six-year-old boy named Devin Richards who was born with deformed legs and unable to walk. All his young life he was forced to walk on his knees.
Through the help of CAMEO, corrective surgery was arranged for Devin at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and was performed by Dr. Donald Dewey. He was then fitted with prosthetic legs made and donated by Goeff Hennen of Hanger, Inc.
After several months of therapy, Devin was finally able to live his life long dream - to wear a pair of Nikes. Devin returned to St. Vincent using a walker BUT proudly wearing his Nikes.
