Limbs of Love is helping a young athlete realize her Olympic Dreams!
23 year old Daphne Hegreness didn't become a runner until after she lost her leg to cancer in 2008. Now this determined young lady is training to be part of Team USA for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.
Daphne had been training on a regular prosthetic because she and her young husband could not afford the tens of thousands of dollars needed for a racing prosthetic.
Limbs of Love heard about Daphne's story and stepped in to provide her with a Cheetah Flex Foot to helpher reach her goal. Within jsut ours on her new foot, Daphne shaved seconds off of her sprint time. To see more about her dreams and her remarkable journey click the link to the Houston Chronicle article below!
