She was a high school basketball star with a promising college future. But in a split second, her life changed forever. Her dream of playing college basketball was shattered when a drunk driver sped through a stop sign near her hometown of Pelican Rapids, MN. The car crash left her with a broken neck. At 18, she faced life in a wheelchair. But that’s not the end of the story.

Her energy and zest for life have touched many. She believes qualities such as courage, wisdom and faith help people cope well with challenges, even during the most difficult times. As she has demonstrated time and time again, though the game may be different...the game will go on.
