Learn About Project Scissor Gait at Berkley Rotary Feb. 23
(Matt Church, Feb. 17,2015)
Being born with multiple congenital deformities including Arthrogryposis Congenita Multiplex and Prune Belly Syndrome, doctors told his parents that Marty Sheedy would not live past the age of three and if he did, Marty would not walk or function normally. Well, he proved them wrong!
Today, Marty is 27 years old and he has learned to live every day to the fullest.   Now that he older, he wants to raise awareness about the way he walks. Marty believes that his story and walking technique may benefit others looking to adapt their gait pattern.
Marty is the Executive Director of his own foundation, Project Scissor-Gait, where he works to educate, promote and provide research opportunities on the scissor gait walking pattern which he uses. Marty travels the country as a motivational speaker telling his story and helping families with children who have Arthrogryposis and Prune Belly Syndrome.
Marty’s story and drive will touch your heart and inspire millions of people facing adversity to overcome life’s challenges.  
As Feb. 23 marks the 110th anniversary of Rotary International, we’ve decided to have “bring a friend to Rotary” for our Feb. 23 meeting. We meet at O’Mara’s (2555 W. 12 Mile Rd.) on Monday, Feb 23 at 12:15pm. Marty Sheedy of Project Scissor Gait will be our featured speaker.
