Dr Dan Preece and his partners are Board Certified Foot and Ankle Surgeons who are volunteering their time to make educational videos helping you through different foot and ankle problems. I spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and to raise money for ArtGivingHope.org. All of my pieces are sold or auctioned at ArtGivingHope.org and 100% of all earnings are used to fund the fight against diabetes that causes a large number of amputations, kidney failure and death in the Polynesions Islands of Tonga, Samoa and Fiji etc. As a foot and ankle surgeon, who has specialized in diabetic limb saving techniques, I am committed to aiding the Polynesian people who are in serious need. Starting in Jan, 2024 I will help fund and participate in medical/surgical missions to Tonga, Samoa and other countries, partnering with HopeForDiabetes.org. This organization is able to stretch every $1,000 donated into $10,000 worth of value in life and limb savings surgeries, wound care and preventative training for local doctors, nurses and community.
