Kelsey O'Driscoll, a former New Jersey track star, was paralyzed after a freak accident five years ago that left her paralyzed at the bottom of a sledding hill. The accident left her with a broken spine and spinal cord damage, which led to a lack of feeling in her feet and severe spinal cord injury. O'Discoll's EMT training helped her assess the situation, and she spent two weeks in rehab at a rehab facility in Schenectady, New York. She is now competing in the Paralympic Games in Italy, where she will be part of Team USA in the Opening Ceremony. O’Driscolls, who first set her sights on reaching the Olympics as a girl, now competes with Team USA.
