Real people deserve real representation! 🤝

Meet Richard, a larger-than-life character, proud grandfather, and TASKA Champion.

Richard's journey with limb difference spans more than 50 years. Along the way, he's built a life shaped by determination, humour, and a simple belief: if there's a job to be done, you'll find a way to get it done.

As a TASKA Champion, Richard shares valuable real-world feedback that helps us continue improving our devices. But for Richard, it's never been about the technology itself. It's about the sense of normality his TASKA CX™ hand gives him to get on with everyday life.
