Dancing against all odds

Dancer Portland Kiera Brinkley, 16, who is a quadruple amputee has achieved her unlikely dream to dance.

She dreamt of not only becoming a dancer, but long ago made up her mind she would perform at the Julliard School. Brinkley went to New York City and made her dream come true.

When Brinkley was 2 years old, she contracted a bacterial infection. Doctors had to remove her arms and legs, but they could not take away her love of dance.

“Never stop, never think that the life you have now is all that you can have,” said Brinkley. “Just go out and do what you love to do.”
