Show Notes
Brenna Huckaby, a three-time Paralympic medalist, prepares for her third Games in snowboard cross and banked slalom. Despite losing her leg to cancer at 14, she found solace in snowboarding. However, the high cost of sports prosthetics, often not covered by insurance, poses a challenge. In Milan-Cortina, she competes in a single category, facing extra coordination hurdles. Huckaby advocates for better insurance coverage to promote health benefits and fairness for disabled athletes.
