Wow. What an amazing woman. I know two below the knee amputees who are amazing triathletes- nothing slows them down, and they beat me every time.

I am in awe of her attitude. Thank you for sharing - what a wonderful story. When I'm feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to think of her.

Salsa, thanks so much for bringing this article to us. This great lady should be a motivator to all of us. What a hard decision to make regarding the amputation, but she put herself back to being able to do things! Awesome!
