Woman Overcomes Huge Adversity

Aimee Mullins is the perfect example of a person who turned a so-called disability into an advantage. Born with no fibula bones in her legs doctors had to amputee both legs below the knee when she was one year old.

However, in college she ran Division I track against able bodied runners and participated in the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta. Mullins has also done some modeling, has acted in several movies and worked at the Pentagon. She has 12 prosthetic legs and is quite the fun loving and cool person!
