There’s a 25-year-old woman outside Atlanta named Jaquie Goncher, who broke her neck diving into a swimming pool eight years ago. So she’s been in a wheelchair ever since, and her doctors said she’d probably never walk again.
Specifically, they said that the chances of her walking again were, quote, “too small to put a number on.” But she refused to believe it, did a ton of physical therapy, and check this out . . .
She and her fiancé Andy got married back in May. And it looked like she was about to go down the aisle in her wheelchair. But then she stopped at the end of the aisle . . . stood up OUT of her chair . . . and WALKED the rest of the way.
Apparently a few close friends knew it was coming, but everyone else was shocked and started crying. But that wasn’t even the end of it. She also DANCED at the reception, and the photos of it started going viral this week.
Jaquie says she’d only been able to stand for 20 or 30 minutes at a time before that. But on their wedding day, she somehow spent over FOUR HOURS on her feet.
And she still has to use a wheelchair most of the time. But she’s trying to use it less and less, and she’s started using a cane instead. (Fox News / CNN)
