The scene of the crash. "I was thrown out of the black pickup and broke my back in multiple places. I also had broken ribs and lung contusions, as well as biting part of my tongue off."

"Me and my mom after I was put on a stretcher. My sister took these photos. She was also in the car with me."

"I was on so much morphine I couldn't have a conversation without falling asleep. I coded several times after my surgery and was constantly monitored."

Her spine after reconstruction. "I'll have the hardware for the rest of my life. I had a 2% chance of walking again."

Feeling a little better! She was in Harborview ICU I'm Seattle for many weeks.

Walking for the first time after the surgery!

"7 years later I don't let anything slow me down. I am an avid hiker and love to be outdoors."

"One of my longest hikes, 13 miles round and a 4500 ft elevation gain."

Hiking on Mt.Rainier 2014.

A daily reminder.
