So, when I looked up I was completely shocked that I did,” she said. Injuries, chronic pain and other complications in her feet led to Stickney having both legs amputated below the knee just three years ago.With everything she has gone through, the gold medals mean just as much to her family as they do to her.Stickney’s mother Sheri said she feels like she won gold too.“I really, really do, all her hard training and everything just really paid off,” Sheri Stickney said. Morgan wants others to never give up, “Because anything is possible, and I think by going to Tokyo for me the biggest thing that I learned is no dream is too big. So, always dream big.”
