Michigan State's Kathryn Mahoney suffered a life-altering injury doing what she loved most: competing in gymnastics. One moment, she's honing her craft on the vault, and the next she's motionless. Mahoney fractured her C6 vertebra one day in practice, leaving her paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. Ever since the incident, Mahoney has received support in all walks of life. "It's been incredible," Mahoney said, "I can't even thank all of the people who have been supporting me." Watch her inspiring story.
