Arise and Overcome

[nissangirl74]

There will always be stories of people overcoming adversities but this is one of the best I have seen in a long time. This girl is so young, and yet so wise beyond her years. To overcome the obstacles she has faced and come out so far ahead is truly amazing. I watched the special on ESPN tonight. If you have a few minutes, watch it. It'll make you a lot more thankful for what you have and take for granted.


POA patient Bree McMahon to be featured on ESPN SportsCenter on Sunday, 8/5/2012

Watch ESPN SportsCenter “Between the Lines” on Sunday, Aug. 5th at 10:00 am, 11:00 pm (and shows throughout the day). They are featuring POA patient Bree McMahon in a segment entitled “THE COMEBACK.” (See synopsis below)

Orlando teen soccer player Bree McMahon had her life planned out. Following club soccer season in the fall, she’d star for her high school team and then choose where to continue her athletic career in college. But in September of 2009, at the beginning of her senior year, McMahon’s life was changed forever when she lost her left leg in a bizarre accident. Her senior year was crushed, but her ambition to play college soccer never wavered. Two and a half years after her accident, Bree McMahon staged a comeback to the field, on the college level and with a prosthetic leg, proving that some dreams are worth holding on to.
