Fresh from a 1400 mile cycle trip from Glasgow Scotland to Prague Czech
Republic, Sheret will cycle the 2400 miles to Maine to promote the Barr
Foundation and the Ertl Amputation Surgical Procedure.



 Barr Foundation President Tony Barr says,



Dan Sheret, and many amputees like him, whom have the fortitude and desire
to become whole again after the loss of a limb, seek out the best surgery
possible.

The surgical procedure know as the The Ertl Procedure provides an
additional and crucial component to the prosthetic hardware in order to
achieve full and complete rehabilitation. Unfortunately, most prosthetists
have to deal with what ever the surgeons leave them.

The Ertl Procedure provides that extra edge to better assure pain free
mobility and the ability to perform remarkable physical achievements.

We have a number of Ertl amps performing remarkable feats with a Ertl.
