Operation Walk Pittsburgh: Not a Fundraising Walk!

Hello! 

Before I get started in sharing our exciting adventures abroad, I would like to first explain to you what Operation Walk Pittsburgh is.

Many people read our name and automatically think that we are a fundraising walk. This is not the case. We work with people who can't walk, not the ones who can. 

Operation Walk Pittsburgh was founded in 2008 by Dr. Anthony DiGioia. Each year we provide free knee and hip replacement surgeries to individuals who do not have access to such care, both domestically and abroad. 

This year we are travelling to Honduras to provide over 60 free surgeries to patients there. Follow this blog to find out more about our mission trip.
