Bristol – Madisonville, Tennessee

Thanks to my care at KOC, I can now enjoy life pain-free. I was able to participate in homecoming this year, something that may have been impossible before my spinal fusion surgery. Walking out onto that field without pain was incredible, and I can now walk in heels like a champ. I also twirl baton and can perform tricks, spins and illusions that used to be painful, and I can do all of that without worrying about my back. I love that I can live my life the way I want and can finally be a normal teenager. My dream is to be a majorette for the Pride of the Southland Band at the University of Tennessee, Go Vols!
