Darlene Ruff

In 2017, Darlene Ruff was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a stolen vehicle. As a result of her injuries, she developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in her right hand and arm, ultimately leading to the amputation of digits 3-5.

Now living on a ranch in Canada with her husband and horses, Darlene embodies resilience and independence. Her custom prosthesis from Point Designs, crafted to match her custom Mini Cooper, features a unique design that lets her hold her service dog’s leash and horse leads effortlessly

“It’s been about not going backwards and trying to get how things were, but looking at my life how it is now and how do I move forward.’ ‘That’s the thing that new amputees need to hear; that there is life after limb loss.”
