This 10 minute film features Ottobock's very own Leslie Pitt Schneider, who works in the legal department. Leslie’s story is much more than a triumph over tragedy. After losing her leg as a young girl, her story encompasses the love and support of family, friends and the clinicians who helped in her rehabilitation and full engagement with life – and her drive to pay it forward and help people new to limb loss or facing an amputation. Her active life involves fashion, competitive and recreational sports like Pilates, kettle bell, and skiing, a career spanning the medical and legal professions, and world travel. Most of all, she finds meaning in reaching out to others to share her journey – and what is possible.
