In Memoriam – Grace Baron

It is with deep sadness, we say goodbye to our friend and colleague, Grace Baron (29 May 1994 – 17 April 2024, aged 29). Tragically taken from this world as the result of an accident in Taupo, New Zealand while on holiday.

Grace moved to Melbourne from Canada with her life partner, Ryan and began working as a Technician at ProMotion in March 2023. Grace immediately cemented a place within the team, endearing herself to all of us with her beautiful spirit and infectious smile.

Grace brought with her a wealth of knowledge and willingness to take on any challenge put to her. Grace graduated from the Technical Methods in Prosthetics and Orthotics program at George Brown College, Toronto, Ontario, in 2018. She gained experience as a prosthetic technician in Calgary, Alberta for 4 years, before joining the ProMotion team.

Forever in our memory.
