Her folks decided to amputate at one, she grew up with wooden ones till college. She was a spokeswoman for Ossur at one time. She also worked with a few guys a NASA as well as Van Phillips. Prior to her sprinting and long jumping, it was pretty unheard of a double amputee attempting to do what she did - everyone always thought the impact would crush her spine but no one ever bothered to tell her that so she just went ahead and competed. Nike approched her for ad work, but she doesn't like playing that card. You would never know she had fake legs if you saw her in an airport or bar or even walking down the street.
