Last year, a Houston-area girl started complaining of back pain.

A few months later, she stood up and couldn't walk. She didn't let that stop her from playing the sport she loves from her wheelchair."I love all sports, but basketball is my number one," exclaims Grace.

"Grace was born with congenital heart disease and a couple of other medical issues, but last January, she started having trouble and complaining of back pain," explains Judy."When I stood up, I just had back pain and I didn't know, but I couldn't walk," states Grace."We've been to doctor, after doctor, trying to figure out what's going on. Grace has a pacemaker in her heart because of her congenital heart disease.

Grace has gotten to work with Peggy, the adapted sports recreation coordinator at TIRR Memorial Hermann. She got Grace involved with the TIRR Hotwheels. It inspired Grace so much, she set up her own YouTube page to further inspire and thank her supporters.
