Transforming Tragedy into Triumph: Gary & Mari of AMP

Gary and Mari LinFoot, founders of the American Mobility Project (AMP), share their inspiring journey and the transformative mission of their organization to provide life-changing mobility equipment to individuals with disabilities. After Gary, a former Army helicopter pilot, was severely injured in 2008, he turned his personal challenge into a powerful mission. Using advanced mobility technologies like the iBot wheelchair and exoskeletons, Gary and Mari have helped over 60 individuals regain their independence, autonomy, and quality of life.

Founded in 2019, AMP has grown significantly with the support of both national partners and local communities. The LinFoots discuss the tangible impact of their work—transforming lives by restoring access to mobility and enabling full integration into the community. Their story is a testament to the profound difference that hope, technology, and human connection can make in people’s lives.
