A New Anthem

Millions of stories, united by one song

For over 100 years, Ottobock has led the way in empowering people to achieve independence and freedom of movement. This year, we’re celebrating all the remarkable people who’ve brought us on their journey – their big moments, their little wins, and everything in between.

And it all begins with a one-of-a-kind musical collaboration between the worldwide disability community and rising superstar Sam Ryder. Together they’ve brought our promise to life with an unforgettable tribute to the unconquerable human spirit: Sam’s new hit “Mountain.”

Don’t just stream it today. See it, feel it, and discover how far we can all rise above.

How our users helped “Mountain” take shape

Sam knew he wanted to create a special hymn to overcoming adversity, and we had the perfect inspiration: people around the world who use our products to face their greatest challenges and achieve their biggest dreams. Check out Sam’s story about how their stories helped bring “Mountain” to life.

Real Journeys

Eyes on the future, heads to the sky

As #IAmAMountain spreads around the globe, we’re following more than 30 Ottobock users who've lived the story of our song. From limb loss to muscular disorders, each one of them has struggled up from life’s dark valleys to reach new heights. Check out how far each one has gone.

Billy

Finding a whole new beat

Billy was a full-time musician when he lost his leg to cancer. But after his recovery, he discovered his true calling: helping fellow amputees get the care they need to live the life they want. Today, he’s a “full-time charity guy” who’s fully focused on his Steps of Faith Foundation – and still a powerhouse drummer too.

Hari

Conquering mountains — and proving he is one

Born deep in the Himalayas, Hari lost both legs while serving in the British military. But not even that could hold him back from the mountains he loved: today, he’s the first bilateral above-knee amputee to summit mountain Everest which is 8.849 m tall.

Gina

Finding a beautiful new tomorrow

An auto accident changed Gina’s life in an instant — and gave her the chance to discover a whole new future. After recovering from her limb loss, she’s gone on to become the “one-armed princess”: a successful model, fashion influencer, and motivational speaker.

Zainab

Discovering the power of positivity

When Zainab was only seven, she lost a leg to a long-forgotten Gulf War explosive. Since then, she’s gone on to a successful career in pharmacy and media. She loves to share her passion for helping people with disabilities build confidence and a positive self-image.

Brandon

Hustle that never goes out of style

Brandon was already a successful entrepreneur, fashionista, and speaker when he lost his leg in a car accident. Since then, he’s taken his influencer career to new heights — with a focus on helping others find hope and motivation in every new day.

Dima

Rising above every challenge

When conflict came to her home in Syria, it cost Dima one of her legs. Now that she’s found a new start in the U.K., she’s set her sights on learning to run again — and uses her story to help others overcome challenges and pursue their dreams.
