Jennifer Bricker was abandoned at the hospital the day she was born when her mother saw that she had no legs.
A loving adoptive family quickly scooped her up and instilled in Jennifer the value of achieving her dreams despite her disability and prior rejection. In fact, Jennifer was raised in a home that never allowed her to say “can’t.”
Legs or not, she was taught to chase the world ever since she was dragging herself around in diapers.
Well, the one thing she always wanted to do was be just like her Olympic gold medalist hero, Dominique Moceanu, so she decided to practice her little tail off to become a world-class gymnast herself.
Time and time again, she watched the determination in Dominique’s eyes manifest in such mesmerizing moves across her TV screen. She knew that’s exactly what she wanted to be.
At the age of 7, Jennifer started practicing with her dad on the trampoline, and soon, she was blowing the doors off of everybody’s expectations.
