Swimming and Diving

Grace used to be a runner, until she contracted cancer, which took her leg. This led to her finding a new love for the sport for swimming
Her story and positive attitude despite her challenges has made a huge impact on everyone who meets her
Although she is not sure that the cancer will ever go away, she keeps moving forward with her head held high
She has been through 18 rounds of chemotherapy and still finds the strength to continue. Many would say “she just keeps swimming”
