"Life happens and we all have things that we have to overcome. Quit is not in my vocabulary.

It doesn't matter if you finish last, in the middle, or first, everyone needs to get across that finish line." (teamusa.org, 19 Mar 2020)

Acquired (jamiewhitmore.com, 24 Aug 2013)

Impairment Details
In 2008 she was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma [cancer] and required surgery to remove a tumour that had wrapped itself around the sciatic nerve in her left leg. She lost the use of her lower left leg, but after relearning to walk the tumour returned and she required further surgery to remove her left gluteal muscle. The scar tissue led to a kidney infection and sepsis, and she needed another operation. (huffingtonpost.com, 23 Jun 2016; triathlete.com, 31 Oct 2014)
