There are many ways you can help support both the Ponseti Method and
Six-Feet.com. Before I talk about those, however, I would like to take this
opportunity to say
I want to express my sincerest thanks to the hundreds of people who have
made this website possible. With out the never ending sources of
information that comes to me through other parents who are living the
clubfoot experience out in the field with me every day, my task here would
be impossible.
To all of them, I extend my heart felt thanks and perpetual gratitude.
This is truly a website by parents, for parents. I do not endorse any
particular doctor or product discussed on this website except the two
obvious: Dr. Ponseti himself, and the Mitchell foot abduction brace.
I try to give unbiased information where I can, meaning I do not take any
payments for the information I offer on this site. Nobody can "buy" their
way on here. Six-feet.com is my labor of love, a project I began laying the
ground work for many years ago when I only had one clubfooted child.
Then I had two.
Then I had three.
Finally, much like the pregnancies that brought forth my children to their
delivery, the website could not be held inside me anymore. It burst forth on
June 3, 2007. I thought it would be a good idea - but the past three
months of it's existence have proven to me that I had no idea how good the
idea was, or how many people really needed it. I only regret not building it
sooner.
Truly, building and maintaining six-feet.com has humbled me greatly and
affected me deeply as almost daily I receive emails from parents who have
found the site, and more importantly, found what they needed from the
site. Their letters make me laugh and cry, and always move with me just
how profound the clubfoot experience touches us all.
For them, for all of you, I continue to donate my time, my devotion, my
efforts. I spend many morning cups of coffee here; many afternoons, and
much to my husband's dismay, many late nights weeding through the
hundreds of emails that come weekly, gleaning the facts, the lies, the
information parents need; searching the web for more and new information,
editing it, linking it, posting it to the site, and paying month after month for
the hosting of this site that it may be perpetually available, and free for the
taking, 24 hours a day to whom ever needs it, where ever in the world they
may be.
And they come, from all over the world, countries big and small.
This website is, much like my own children, my labor of love and my gift to
the world. If you like what you find here, and wish to help support my time
and efforts in making it all available to both yourself and others, there are
many ways you can do that.
You may send any of these things directly to me.
possible, and successful!
Most Sincerely,

the world. If you like what you find here, and wish to help support my time
and efforts in making it all available to both yourself and others, there are
many ways you can do that.
- First, I am always looking for personal opinions and first-hand
accounts regarding the clubfoot doctor(s) you are using - good or
bad. A parent's living experience with a doctor is worth more to me
than a doctor's degree or personal opinion of himself.
Second, I am always looking for testimonials describing your child's
treatment process via the Ponseti Method. Your testimonials help
other parents follow the method with faith, believing (accurately) that
if you can do it, they can too.
Third, I am always looking for more articles, more insight, new
sources, and new research to post here. If you find it, sent me the
link.
Fourth, I am always glad to find new websites that will link nicely to
this, as expanding the global clubfoot community is a large part of
our mission here.
You may send any of these things directly to me.
- Finally, web hosting isn't free and I get no pay by being here. By not
using one of the many "free" web hosting systems, I am able to
control the ads that appear here, helping ensure a nicer experience
to my viewers. If you would like to donate to the expenses of running
six-feet.com, you may make a small contribution below.
possible, and successful!
