Feature Interview:

Competitive Age Group athlete Jan Mitchell crashed while racing in early 2000. She woke up in a hospital and was informed she suffered a serious cervical spine and would likely not have use of her arms and legs again. She spent six months in the hospital before flying home and meeting her Physical Therapist, Aaron Knighton. Friend of the show Dave Sheanin introduced us at the Boulder Sunset Triathlon in Boulder after she finished the race with the guidance of Dave and Aaron.

This is an amazing story of traumatic injury, determination, positive thinking and an healing. It is also a story of compassion, friendship and family.
