Welcome to the Clubfoot Club!
Please keep in mind that I have no medical training. The information on this site has been gleaned from various sources.
My eldest son, Evan, was born with bilateral clubfeet and Amniotic Band Syndrome affecting his left hand. In 1993 the internet was just a baby too. We didn't know where to turn for information about his conditions. We made our decisions based on what our Doctors told us. We knew nothing about non-surgical methods of treating clubfeet and as a result Evan had clubfoot surgery. Hopefully this site will help others to find information and support. » Read Evan's story.
Evan is one of the lucky ones. He was born in Canada where he could receive world-class medical attention. There are children in developing communities living with uncorrected clubfeet! Here are some ways I've found to help make a difference:
- donate your used orthopedic devices for reuse
- sponsor a forgotten child's clubfoot treatment through CBM
- make a financial donation to CBM to supply crutches, braces or shoes for a child
Send us your story about your Clubfoot experiences for inclusion on the site.

I will remove this button when I receive enough money to cover the expenses for the year. Thank You!
