Nichole Millage. The Boat Trip that Changed Her Life and Making Paralympics a Household Name.
Manage episode 446282667 series 3324084
You can't keep a good girl down. What would depress and ruin many, she used as a flotation device to give her purpose and direction.
Listen to this Centennial graduate and Champaign native talk about a 98' boating accident on Clinton Lake, seeking justice without any resolution, finding and using prosthetics, taking an athletic background and finding a new outlet with sitting volleyball, her incredible Paralympics history, her engagement and her current position for the City of Champaign. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong crowd, I can think of a hundred near-miss moments like the one Nichole describes on the lake that summer. She isn't defined by that boat ride, however, she is defined by strength, athleticism and now love.
