The Given Limb Foundation was established in 2007. The idea for the foundation was conceived by Martha McDade after her brother-in-law, an Army doctor, returned from Iraq and described the nature of the injuries and long-term care needs of the injured soldiers. The foundation is a registered 501©(3) organization. The directors of the organization all donate their time so the organization operates efficiently and without overhead.
In its short life, The Given Limb Foundation has already made an impact, helping a soldier wounded in Iraq return to rock-climbing, a sport he enjoyed before his injury, and spearheading the development of a caregiver education course which it hopes to implement by the end of 2008.
