CTC Rider and Cancer Survivor Profiled in Outside Magazine

October 29, 2009

Jarem Frye lost his leg to cancer 16 years ago, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming one of the world's most extreme athletes! In 2008, Jarem rode the CT Challenge.

 

After Jarem lost his leg, he was inspired to develop a prosthetic leg that would allow him and others like him to do more than current prosthetics allowed. Jarem embodies the spirit of survivorship. He is working to improve the quality of life of survivors; the prosthetic leg he developed allows above-the-knee amputees to excel in sports in which above-the-knee amputees could not previously participate (sports like snowboarding that require the participant to perform a jumping motion that relies on a strong thigh muscle).

 

Jarem was recently profiled in Outside Magazine; the article is inspirational, impressive, and remarkable.
