INSTRUCTORS
DENNIS OEHLER BIO:
Dennis Oehler became a below-knee amputee at the age of 24, as the result of an automobile accident, just weeks prior to signing a contract to playing professional soccer in New York. Dennis would later qualify for the 1988 Paralympics Track and Field Team, where he set the world record in the 100-meter event in 11.73 seconds and won gold medals in the 200- and 400-meter events.
TODD SCHAFFHAUSER BIO:
Todd Schaffhauser became an above-knee amputee at the age of fifteen due to bone cancer. Determined to regain an active lifestyle, he qualified for the Paralympics Track and Field Team and won a gold medal by completing the 100-meter event in a time of 15.77 seconds. In the 1995 World Games, he broke his own world record by running the 100-meter in 14.55 seconds.
BILL BAILEY (AMPUTEE) TESTIMONIAL:
“As far as I know, SRT’s Walking School is the only place in Fort Wayne where above the knee and below the knee amputees can be together. The school allows us (the amputees) to spend time in each other’s company and to be in the majority even if it’s only for a short time. The social interaction is just as important as the physical drills and tips that Dennis and Todd freely share with us. In the exercise room at Turnstone I learn, share and laugh with everyone who is just like me. It is great to feel “normal,” even if it only lasts two hours every third month.”
