Erin Kelly

Erin Kelly was a Sophomore Varsity Softball Player at Hackensack High School with a great future in the sport, when one night she woke up and couldn't feel her legs.  Erin had contracted Transverse Myelitis, a disorder caused by the inflammation of the spinal cord.  Instead of attending softball practice, Erin had to spend 6 weeks in rehab re-learning how to walk.  She discusses what she went through in the hospital, how intense those 6 weeks of re-learning how to walk were, having a positive attitude through the whole ordeal, why she wasn't able to make it back on the softball field, and how her experience led her to her current career as a nurse.
