Prosthetic limbs for amputees have a real cost -- thousands of dollars -- but also an emotional toll. Matt Millhouse, a military veteran and the president of Iron Leg Corp., spoke with "Enable: The Disability Podcast" about his experiences raising a son whose right leg didn't fully form in the womb, how his son doesn't let it stop him from loving and participating in sports, and the organization's efforts to help raise money for other children in need of prosthetics.

"You have to understand there's so much behind the scenes that they go through emotionally," Matt said.

Iron Leg Corp. will host a charity football game June 20, 2026, at Biemesderfer Stadium at Millersville University in Millersville, PA. To donate or buy tickets, visit ironleg.org/donate/.
