I love this story! What a courageous girl. I love the fact that her parents would have brought her up with the attitude that she can do anything and she's doing it! Awesome! I hope she gets to go all the way. Wouldn't it be fabulous, to one day open a fashion mag and talk about what she's wearing, not what her disability is.

I've seen some of the before and after photos circulating the internet of Madeline Stuart. I don't agree that they should be showing the before ones like if she is helpless. We need to celebrate the accomplishment of what Madeline Stuart has done now with her life.
