Meet McKenzie Coan!
What an incredible event! Last night, McKenzie Coan joined Dr. Kara Ayers (former OIF Board of Directors member and US Paralympian) and OI community members to discuss her experiences as a US Paralympic Gold Medalist and OI community member preparing to travel to Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Paralympics! Watch the recording of this event below!
McKenzie also shared that her new memoir, Breaking Free, is now available for pre-order! McKenzie will be donating a portion of her presale profits to the OI Foundation, so be sure to order your copy TODAY! Click here to order.
In Breaking Free, McKenzie tells how she finds strength through swimming, despite the limited expectations placed on her by having osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease. With her graceful freestyle stroke and never-quit attitude, McKenzie breaks through the barriers of disability and lives a full and spectacular life on the Paralympic stage and beyond.
Breaking Free shines light on the hottest topics in sport and life, from grit, determination, goal-setting, and sheer athleticism to mental health, self-care, body image, disability, discrimination, determination, family, humor, and hope.
