INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. -- Cam Haight was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome.

His mom, Sarah, says his right hand came out like a baseball mit, with his pinky sticking out. He had a lot of surgeries but had trouble doing some things kids like to do.

That was until he and mom came across a 3-D printed hand.

“That was really cool. It is bright and colorful,” Cam said.

The device allows the 7 year old to use his wrist muscles to move the hand which allows him to grip things like a bicycle handle.

It’s one of the reasons Cam and his mom co-founded the non-profit "Different Heroes". It supports people with limb differences.

One of its big projects is building and distributing 3-D prosthetics to people around the world.

“We really, really want kids to grow with the confidence that they have 10 fingers or 10 toes so they are proud of their difference,” Haight said.

Cam and his mom have built around 80 themselves.

They use a computer program to design the product and the 3-D printer uses a filament to create it.

They also travel the country spreading the word that being different should be embraced.

“You don't have to be scared when someone has a limb difference,” Cam said.

Last year, Cam got to meet Panther player Cam Newton and gave him a 3-D hand. The next person he wants to meet is Seattle Seahawks player Shaquem Griffin who also has a limb difference.

Different Heroes is hosting an overnight event with dinner, trampolines and food for kids with limb differences in February. For more information contact sarah@differentheroes.com.
