In 2002, as a teenager in New Mexico, Alana Nichols suffered a spinal cord injury while attempting a backflip on a snowboard. Rather than give up her love of sports, she transitioned to adaptive sports.
She inspired many by becoming the first American female to win gold medals in both the Summer (Wheelchair Basketball) and Winter (Alpine Skiing) in the Paralympic Games.
She is an advocate for disabled athletes and women and is one of the most inspirational people you will meet.
