I spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and raising money for ArtGivingHope.org.
All of my pieces are sold or auctioned at ArtGivingHope.org and 100% of all earnings are used to fund the fight against diabetes that causes a large number of amputations, kidney failure and death in the Polynesions Islands.
As a foot and ankle surgeon who has specialized in diabetic limb saving techniques, I am committed to aiding the Polynesian people who are in serious need. Starting in 2024 I will help fund and participate in medical/surgical missions to Tonga, Samoa and other countries, partnering with HopeForDiabetes.org. This organization is able to stretch every $1,000 donated into $10,000 worth of value in life and limb savings surgeries, wound care and preventative training for local doctors, nurses and community.
Ways to help me stop the amputations and death from continuing can be found at: ArtGivingHope.org
