KARA'S AMPLIFE™ STORY
I was diagnosed with Metastatic Osteosarcoma (spread to my lungs) in March of 2017. After multiple lung surgeries and a limb salvage surgery, I had a reoccurrence in my leg and ultimately had to have an amputation. The one thing that kept me going was swimming. I'm now a swim coach and I still swim 3-4 times a week!
