Double amputee and model fights to stay mobile as duct-taped prosthetics fall apart

2025-02-13 23

A double amputee is raising nearly $30,000 for new prosthetic legs so she can dance at her wedding.

Lexie Bader, 28, from Lakewood, Colorado, lost both legs due to complications from a snowboarding accident and now relies on prosthetics held together with duct tape.

Despite working 60-hour weeks as a truck driver and pursuing extreme sports, her outdated prosthetics cause her pain and limit her mobility.

Insurance won’t cover a new pair, so she launched a GoFundMe to help fund them before her September wedding.

Lexie remains determined to keep moving forward and live life without limitations.
