Marc Dunshee, left, began competing in triathalons and marathons after receiving a prosthetic leg made in part from hemp designed by  Kyle Trivisonno (left). Trivisonno is moving his company, Human Plan Solutions, out of a Wichita State business incubator into a building at the Newton City/County Airport.
