Her inspiring story of working her way back seven months removed from a life-threatening ATV accident that left her paralyzed was documented recently on USA Today.
“I want people to know that this injury affected my legs, but not my brain or my mouth,” Van Dyken said. “So, let’s go and have fun with it.”
