How could I not watch it?
So begins the tale of Janine, an Aussie skier, Olympic hopeful, recovered paraplegic, pilot, and much more. Janine was on a mountainous bike ride with her Olympic training team when the unthinkable happened; she was hit by a speeding truck. She recounts her horrifying injuries, how she broke almost all of the bones in her body, her body was cut open and filled with gravel, leaving a scar that cuts her in half.
Trapped in the spinal ward, Janine never thought she would do anything she loved again, she would never ski or bike or do any other extreme sports-- she may never even walk. After a while she realized that if she would never ski again she would do something better, she would fly. Janine received her pilot's license and is now certified to fly a commercial aircraft.
Through her struggles she learned something invaluable. You are not your body. Your body is merely a vessel that contains your spirit. Just because your body is broken does not mean you are broken.
