Monique Murphy was like any teenager at University. Studying and being with friends. When one day she woke up from a coma in a hospital to see she no longer had a foot. She had fallen from a 5th story building and through a glass building. She recovered from incredible injuries, including amputating her right leg below the knee.
She tells a story of resilience and strength. Her mindset for her age is one we all wish we could achieve.
We wish Monique all the best as she pursues her dream of swimming at the Tokyo Olympics.
Her motto: "If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough"
