Current Champion Projects and Campaigns

Meet Caleb’s Team! Caleb has had a long journey with hip dysplasia, and it is not finished. Caleb’s parents are running in honor of him this year to help raise hip dysplasia awareness and support the IHDI. Click here to visit their team page, buy a team tee shirt, and to follow their journey.

Atesa

Atesa is a recent high school graduate who earned her title as a “Miles4Hips Champion” by partnering with Miles4Hips for her high school senior year internship and research project. Atesa had a personal interest in hip dysplasia and wanted to learn more about this condition, so she read about hip dysplasias and some of our Miles4Hips stories and also interviewed three individuals with hip dysplasia to learn more about their experiences. On this Champion page, Atesa shares more about her interest in hip dysplasia and summarizes the results of her project.
