When Kiaʻi was born with clubfoot, his grandmother knew exactly where to turn. At just 20 days old, he began gentle casting treatment at shrinershawaii. With serial casting, bracing and the guidance of his orthopedic team, he grew stronger and even avoided surgery. Today, at 10, he surfs, swims, plays ukulele and dreams of becoming a firefighter because nothing can hold him back.
