DENVER — At just five years old, Braden McMahon has a lot of big dreams for his life; when he grows up, he wants to be a soccer player and an astronaut, a NASCAR driver and even a monster truck driver.

Because he is growing, Braden goes through about one leg per year and for the most part, his parents’ insurance covers the cost. The legs are expensive, though, and his parents end up paying about $600-800 for each one. “A running blade would actually like give you a lot of spring. So, the whole like running blade foot would give you like the propulsion to like run a lot faster,” McMahon said.

"We cannot be making a Colorado for all unless we consider Coloradans that live with a disability,” said Ortiz."If we are truly going to secure a Colorado for all, that must include Coloradans living with a disability."
