Mission Moment
Nurban Agustín, 35, is a ROMP patient and an exceptional muralist. After losing his leg below the knee in an accident, one of the first murals he painted was at the ROMP Clinic. At ROMP, Nurban not only found mobility, but also the opportunity to reconnect with his talent. ROMP offers more than prosthetic care, but a range of services that allow patients to fully rehabilitate and reintegrate into society in the best possible way, providing them with human dignity, discovering their talents, and empowering them to reach the next level.
Guatemala

ROMP Community
Partnerships
Equinoccial | Vitality Partnership Ecuador
In 2024, ROMP partnered with Seguros Equinoccial – Vitality to deliver prosthetic care to 14 people in Ecuador through an innovative corporate impact initiative. As part of this unique program, users of the Equinoccial Vitality wellness app can convert their healthy habits, tracked through physical activity, into digital medallions, which are then redeemed by the company as financial contributions to ROMP. This creative model links community wellness with tangible social impact, transforming exercise into mobility for those in need and reinforcing a shared commitment to inclusive, active, and dignified lives. Vitality aims to triple the impact in 2025.
Hotel Vista Quince Partnership Guatemala
In Guatemala, ROMP formed a meaningful partnership with Hotel Vista Quince to expand access to prosthetic care through a socially responsible hospitality model. For every night booked, whether individual or corporate, the hotel makes a direct donation to support ROMP’s clinical services. This alliance is more than charitable giving; it’s a long-term commitment to breaking down barriers for people with disabilities and improving quality of life through increased mobility. By integrating purpose into each guest stay, Hotel Vista Quince is helping ROMP to ensure access to high-quality prosthetic care to underserved individuals in Guatemala, and fostering a more inclusive future, one night at a time.

Climbing for ROMP
From One Summit to a Global Movement
Climbing for ROMP began in 2015 with a bold vision: put a group of adaptive athletes on the summit of Cayambe, the highest peak on the equator, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. What started as a single expedition sparked a global movement, one rooted in the belief that mobility is a human right.
Over the past decade, Climbing for ROMP has grown into ROMP’s largest global fundraising and awareness campaign, advocating for access to high-quality prosthetic care around the world. The movement has inspired:
• 2,500+ climbers
• 350+ climbs across 7 continents, 35 countries and 47 U.S. states
• Over $1.1 million raised
• Delivery of 733 prostheses and services to patients in need
In 2024, the campaign reached new heights with a multi-peak expedition to Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, and Cayambe. This adventure was a tribute to 10 years of climbing for mobility and a declaration of the summits still ahead.

Lauren “LP” Panasewicz
For nearly a decade, Lauren “LP” Panasewicz helped shape the Range of Motion Project into the bold, mission-driven organization that it is today. As ROMP’s Director of Development and the visionary behind Climbing for ROMP, LP transformed a single expedition into a global movement by uniting hundreds of climbers in expeditions on every continent, raising over $1M, and bringing the ROMP mission to new heights.
LP’s leadership went far beyond logistics and fundraising. She was a force of creativity and conviction, blending storytelling, strategy, and heart to expand ROMP’s reach across the world. From producing award-winning short films like La Cumbre and Voluntariosa to championing adaptive athletes on the summits of Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, and Cayambe, she gave voice and visibility to the global fight for mobility.
In 2024, LP led her final expedition with ROMP, celebrating the 10th Annual Climbing for ROMP
campaign. That milestone wasn’t just a moment, it was a movement made possible by her unwavering commitment to equity, access, and community.
Though LP’s formal role with ROMP concluded following a departmental restructuring, her legacy continues to climb with every step taken by a ROMP patient, every summit reached by a Climbing for ROMP team, and every voice raised in support of mobility for all. We are deeply grateful for LP’s years of service, her leadership, and the movement she helped build.
Partner Spotlight:
Since 2020, Cotopaxi’s generous support through the Cotopaxi Foundation has enabled ROMP to expand its reach, including opening a satellite clinic in the Ecuadorian Amazon and extending mobile services to rural communities in Ecuador and Guatemala. In 2024, Cotopaxi and ROMP deepened their partnership to collaborate on the 10th Annual Climbing for ROMP campaign. National Geographic Explorer and Cotopaxi Ambassador Dr. Albert Lin joined ROMP Athlete Carlos Aguinda to ascend Ecuador’s Cayambe volcano. This powerful journey, documented in the three-part series The Right to Move, highlighted the transformative impact of prosthetic care and the shared belief that movement is an inalienable right.

In Memoriam
Honoring those in the ROMP community that have passed on in 2024.
ROMP Ecuador Patients
Angela Chevez (1959 - 2024)
Angela started walking again in 2023 after receiving loving care from ROMP volunteers and staff.
Jacinto Suarez (1976 - 2024)
The ROMP team had the pleasure of meeting Jacinto during mobile clinic outreach in Santo Domingo. His radiant smile lit up the room when he stood on two feet for the first time with MrBeast and friends.
Angel Vanegas (2008 - 2024)
Angel shared his joy and energy with MrBeast and crew in October of 2024.
ROMP Guatemala Patients
Linseed Wendoly Brillith Ardon Valle (2010 - 2024)
Linseed was brave in the face of her cancer. She learned to walk again and returned to school bringing her light and kindness wherever she went.
Mynor Arreaga (1967 - 2024)
Mynor lived to the fullest and his family carries his memory in their hearts.
Elvia Leticia Baldomero (1963 - 2024)
Elvia was with the ROMP team for most of 2024 and is remembered for her positive attitude and collaborative spirit. Month after month she worked on her physical therapy and never gave up on her dream to walk again.
Adrian Roque Carrera (1954 - 2024)
Adrian was loved by his family, friends, and community.
Adonias Corado Chinchilla (1961 - 2024)
Adonias was with the ROMP family since 2019. He diligently worked on his rehabilitation and regained considerable mobility through prosthetic care.
Roberto Hernandez (1966 - 2024)
Roberto’s dream of walking and working again selling pineapples came true through his disciplined rehabilitation with ROMP. He reminded us that we can set goals at any point in life.
Yostin Alfredo Orellana Tojes (2009 - 2024)
Yostin came to ROMP through a partnership with the National Pediatric Oncology hospital of Guatemala. He worked so hard for two years and learned to walk again. He always kept his head up and is deeply missed by his family and friends.
Rocky Shorey (1981 - 2024)
“As Rocky developed his identity as a mountaineer, I can safely surmise it was a deep love for being in and with the mountains. But I believe it was his love and care for other human beings that brought him to experience the mountains with ROMP. In 2021, Rocky climbed Cotopaxi with the annual Climbing for ROMP Team. I will let Rocky speak for himself about that experience and “a big why” of why we both support ROMP.”
– Heather Shorey, Rocky’s sister, ROMP volunteer and climber
“What made this summit so significant for me was not that it is the tallest mountain I’ve climbed or because it is so beautiful, the most difficult, or its sheer magnitude. What made this summit so significant for me was the amazing people I had the incredible opportunity to share this experience with…I have never been so overcome with emotion as I was when I set foot on that summit—and then when I saw each team member come over the ridge and make it to the summit, I couldn’t help the tears from coming down. It really was one of the most amazing things I have witnessed. Despite disabilities, limitations, or obstacles, the human spirit can always triumph. A huge thanks to ROMP for putting together such an amazing experience. This really has changed my view of people and the world.”
– Rocky Shorey, ROMP climber
