Show Notes

Morgan Stickney had aspirations of becoming an Olympian as a youth swimmer growing up in New Hampshire. However, a foot injury and the discovery of a rare vascular disease derailed those plans.  She had her left leg amputated in 2018, and then a year later an injury in her right leg forced Morgan to make the difficult decision to go through another amputation. Morgan wouldn't let these setbacks stop her from achieving her dreams. She got back in the pool, learned how to swim again and set her sights on the Summer Paralympics in Tokyo where she will be representing Team USA. Morgan's grit and perseverance is an inspiration to anyone who hears her story, and she will write another chapter in her amazing journey in Japan.
