Welcoming Happy Hips !!!! ;)

If I can direct your attention to the tabs at the top of our page, you will notice a brand new tab labeled, "teens/young adults" !!!!!  We are 'over the moon' excited to have teamed up with a remarkable group designed to reach out to the hip dysplasia world's teen and young adult members!

Please join us in welcoming.....


Happy Hips was founded by Ms. Hannah Purdy....who knows first hand what walking the hip dysplasia road is like as a teen/young adult.  Hannah, with her amazing heart, wanted to reach out to others to make a difference in their lives....and, she has !  Now, with a growing team of friends....some who have hip dysplasia, and some who have just watched their friends suffer long enough and could stand by no longer....
they have become 'Happy Hips', and,
 we are proud to call them our friends !!

On the new tab, you can read more about Hannah and her team....and, their contact information 
and website is there as well !!! ;)

Welcome to the One Hip World family, 
Happy Hips !!
Together we can.....together we will !!!

Emily has endured an unbelievable battle with hip dysplasia.  Not being diagnosed until she was 17 years old, she has undergone 8 surgeries in the past 4 years.  She is now 22 and is (only for now, because we are claiming great things for her) reliant on her wheelchair.  
Emily is determined to help herself and others in this ongoing battle against hip dysplasia, and she has both a smile and a spirit that will warm your heart !  
Emily has put together the First Annual Hip Hop 5K Run for Hip Dysplasia to take place on August 24th 2013 in Easton, MA
