Jessica Long Video Interview, U.S. Paralympic Swimmer
When U.S. Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long, 20, was 18 months old, her legs were amputated as a result of fibular hemimelia, a congenital lack of a crucial leg bone. Throughout her childhood and swimming career, Long has had to endure many surgeries on her legs. Yet despite her trials and tribulations, she has not let that stop her from doing what she wants to do. “There are just so many different things that can come, and you never know. Anything can happen,” she told Uinterview exclusively. “So it’s really just looking past it and just understanding it’s all part of a plan.”
