About Clubfoot Track Star
Welcome to Clubfoot Track Star, where we celebrate uniqueness and resilience through the heartwarming story of Sugarfoot. Our story revolves around a little girl named Sugarfoot, who was born with a twisted clubfoot but found strength and faith to overcome challenges. As the author of "A Clubfoot Track Star: Celebrating How God Made Me," I was inspired to write Sugarfoot's story by my own experiences of being teased and bullied about my foot. This book not only captures the beauty of self-acceptance but also showcases the journey of becoming a Track Athlete.
Our primary goal in sharing Sugarfoot's journey is to raise awareness, encourage resilience, promote acceptance, and inspire others. The book introduces children to “World Clubfoot Day,” celebrated every year on June 3rd, honoring the Ponseti Method for treating clubfoot without surgery. Through storytelling events, inspirational workshops, and book signings, we aim to create a positive impact on those born with clubfoot, their families, and the community at large. Every year, 200,000 babies worldwide are born with clubfoot, and our book offers hope and encouragement to them. Join us in embracing uniqueness, finding strength in differences, and spreading the message of resilience and faith with Clubfoot Track Star.
