Paralympic Champion Swimmer At WOTC: Don't Let Fear Stand In Your Way

Your life can change in a single moment, whether it's a simple moment, one of triumph or one of deep tragedy.

Mallory Weggemann (pictured) knows this firsthand. In January 2008, the then 18-year-old was getting epidural injections for back pain when, suddenly, she was no longer able to feel her legs.

"In that moment, everything I knew changed," Weggemann said at this week's 2016 Women of the Channel West event in Napa, Calif. She has been a paraplegic since, with no feeling below her belly button.
