Walking a dog with crutches
The challenge
When Veronica walks her dog Jack, she sometimes has difficulty maintaining stability with her crutches and Jack's leash while allowing both of them control and freedom of movement. Veronica is seeking a solution that will enable her to feel confident and in control while allowing Jack freedom of movement
Who it helps
Veronica Zvik, age 32, is a paralympic athlete training for Tokyo 2020. She was injured during her service as a Krav Maga instructor in the air force, and since has been confined to crutches.
