Aimee Mullens
Double leg amputee Aimee Mullens broke barriers consistantly from being an athlete, an actress, and a public speaker.
Aimee is from Allentown, Pennsylvania and took up sports and acting at an early age. She's the first amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes in National Collegiate Athletic Association events, and competed in the Paralympics in 1996 in Atlanta. In 1999, she began modeling, and in 2002 she began an acting career. She was born with fibular hemimelia (missing fibula bones). Both of her legs were amputated below the knee when she was one year old. Her parents were told she would likely use a wheelchair for the rest of her life and never walk, but by the age of two she had learned to walk with prosthetic legs.
