When Rosalie’s son was four years old, he was attacked by the family dog which resulted in a below knee leg amputation. This changed her son and the families life and now Rosalie is on a mission to advocate and educate. Whether it's in person, at events across the country or social media, she consistently connects with other families and amputees.
