From horseback riding to whitewater rafting, Megan was always up for an adventure.
But an unfortunate ATV accident left her with a broken back and neck, and unable to move her legs. After recovering from 17 hours of surgery, Megan elected to go to the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute for inpatient rehabilitation.
It was a daily struggle, but with the help of world-class doctors, therapists, nurses, and state-of-the-art equipment, she worked to sit up, stand, and walk again. She’s come so far. In fact, she’s not only riding her horse again, but she’s soon jumping into life’s ultimate adventure. This October, Megan will be, quite literally, walking down the aisle to be married.
