Atticus Root suffered from bone cancer when he was just 13 years old. This would end up with doctors amputating his left leg due to his disease. He then received a custom-made prosthetic leg that helped him in his day-to-day activities. Unfortunately, Root, now 20, had his prosthetic leg stolen on December 8, 2024. While he has raised enough funds to replace it, it doesn’t change the awful nature of the theft.
