Thanks to Charmain Brackett of The Augusta Good News for sharing the inspiring story about Amy Dotson, an VA Augusta Spinal Cord Injury patient and Air Force Veteran. Dotson, who "served as a cryptological language analyst, before she medically retired, got in adaptive sports a couple of years after her diagnosis" with MS and has worked with PVA and VA Augusta as she conquers her condition through therapy, community, and adaptive sports.

Read Charmain's whole story here:

An Air Force veteran who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2014, Dotson found a supportive community and leads a life of relative independence due in large part to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA)
