The Limb Kind Foundation held an adaptive fashion show in Atlantic Beach.  

The "Show Your Shine" event was organized to help get prosthesis to deserving people in third-world countries.  

Solan Weakly, a 9-year-old who lost a leg at age 3 due to a rare bone tumor, was among the participants.  

“It was just amazing. It was so fun. You got to do a lot of spins, and do whatever you want,” she said.  

“Just seeing her be so free and so happy, it’s just stunning. Probably one of my favorite nights in a long time,” said Shay Weakly, her mother.

LIFORECAST

Ok. Ok. We've got some, uh, kind of ugly stuff moving in but the weekend's gonna be kind of warm most of it for most of it, which is the good takeaway from this is that we are looking for majority of the next few days to be fine. It's just really gonna be our Sunday afternoon and evening hours where we're gonna have to just be weather aware. So what we need to know we're looking at Friday. Not bad. It's gonna actually be a warmer start to a trend that's gonna get even better. By the time we get into our Saturday, Saturday, we're still on the dry end. Temperatures will start to warm into the middle fifties and then Sunday, we're going to be near 60 degrees if not at the 60 degree mark. But that's also when we're gonna be looking at the storm system to move in from a Sunday afternoon into our Monday morning. So around at dinner time or even early into our afternoon is when we're gonna be anticipating to see some rain from the storm system to move its way across to Long Island. Now, early parts of our Sunday, it's mainly going to be light rain. But as we get to the overnight transitioning into early Monday morning, heavy rainfall is going to start to develop for us just into around the five o'clock mark, which is going to lead into our early Monday morning. So we could see between 1 to 2 inches of rainfall by the time the event is over with and gusty winds from 30 to 40 MPH. The good news is though, once we're into our Monday afternoon, it looks to clear up for us, but until we get there overnight, it's partly cloudy cold conditions, temperatures just a degree or two below freezing or at the freezing point. Again, Friday and Saturday, you're not gonna need the heavy coats but still gonna be nice and chilly. At least until we get into our Saturday, quiet conditions heading into our Friday for us. Plenty of sunshine, cloud cover will move in for Saturday and then for Sunday into Monday, we're gonna be monitoring that storm system.

Limb Kind Foundation fashion show raises $50K to get prosthetics to people in need

Well the pressure of being a fashion model can be pretty tough sometimes, but at a special show here on the island, some models have that pressure and more as they walked the runway for a good cause news. 12's Andrew Anger has the story. Few fashion shows have this kind of energy, but here the energy radiates from the models and audience because just walking the runway here is a challenge for some. It was just amazing. It was like it was just like so fun and I got to do a lot of spins, nine year old Sloan weekly owning the runway, even though at three, she lost her leg to a rare bone tumor. She joined 27 other models from the limb loss or limb different community as part of the limb kind foundation show your shine adaptive runway show in atlantic beach. The event helps the Foundation brings prosthesis to deserving people in third world countries to hopefully change lives most of the kids that were giving a prosthesis to, I have never had a prosthesis in their life or wearing something that truly does not fit them. But aside from outreach, this event helps show the models and others that having a limb loss isn't something to be ashamed of. Sloane's mom agrees and couldn't be more proud of her daughter, just her be so free and so happy is just stunning. Some good news here tonight is that this event was completely sold out and raised over $50,000 for the limb kind Foundation to help with their outreach and future trips. Mets super fan and amputee Patrick Filosa walked the runway as well and says losing his leg and meeting others like him, changed his life for the better growing up as someone with a disability, you always feel like you're alone and you're the only one, and this proves to them that you're not and that you can give back and you can be a special person and do anything that you want to do in Atlantic Beach Andrew Anger News 12 Long Island. I love that shine. Well, if you would like to learn a little bit more about the limb Kind Foundation, we have that information for you on our website, News 12 dot com.
