Life took an unexpected turn for a North Texas 17-year-old after she lost part of her leg. Now, she's fighting to return to the sport she loves.
Her parents say they’re in awe of her strength. It’s no surprise the 17-year-old junior can still be found at practice with her squad at Rockwall-Heath High School.
“Your true character comes out when you go through something like this. And she has amazed everybody that’s come in contact with her,” said her mother, Kerri Walker. The hope is that she will tumble again. That could become a reality soon with a prosthetic leg in the works. Her team, coaches and the surrounding community have been pillars throughout the journey. They’re hoping for continued support“Medical care only goes so far when it comes to prosthetics, and she’s going to need a specialty leg that has some specialty skills,” said Kerri Walker.
Where some might see obstacles, Brooke sees opportunity. Already she’s picturing herself exactly where she’s always wanted to be. Cheering with her team. “I love it. I can’t wait to do it again,” she said. “I can’t wait to be out in front of a crowd. I love performing.”
