Jamie Fishman

"Now, Miss J," Dr. Comrie smiled at me. "I want you to attempt standing up from your wheelchair and walk over to me.""I'm scared to do that." Jamie said, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if I fall?""You won't, because your wonderful parents, awesome best friends and I are here to help to make sure that that doesn't happen.""Okay." Jamie smiled, taking a deep breath. "I will try."When Jamie was six years old, she was involved in a car crash that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Ever since then, Jamie had gone through countless surgeries and physical therapy treatments that would make her stronger. Today, her strength would be put to the test as she would attempt to walk for the first time in over ten years.
