Subject: Attention Florida Practitioners / Barr Foundation seeks assistance
for Amputee walking down US 1 in Brevard County to Miami


Julio Montoya , a b/k amputee is currently walking down US 1 just south of
New Symrna Beach,Florida, carrying a large American Flag to bring
awareness of the unlimited possibilities of proper prosthetic rehabilitation
.His trip began in Boston June 22nd and will conclude in Miami.

Please see the attached article about him ..
< http://www.landminesurvivors.org/news_article.php?id=375 >
http://www.landminesurvivors.org/news_article.php?id=375 .

The Barr Foundation would like to find a qualified prosthetist to meet up
with him along his route on US 1 , give him our Barr Foundation logo
patches and money order for a hotel room (which we will fed ex to you )and
check out his leg and prosthesis . We think Titusville to Melbourne by
Monday perhaps even this Friday, would be a good location.

His story is just too good to pass up. Hope to hear from you soon.

You can reach Julio Montoya on his cell to coordinate a meet, he speaks
good english. I have his number!

 Thanks,

Please call me if you have an interst in coordinating this effort and I will
get the patches and donation for Julio sent to you immediately ..Tony Barr
