3:41Now PlayingParalympian Lora Webster was pregnant when she won gold for the U.S. women’s sitting volleyball team in Tokyo. It marked her fifth Paralympic medal after earning bronze in 2004, silvers in 2008 and 2012, and gold in 2016. Lora has learned to overcome hurdles throughout her life. At age 11, Lora was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in her left tibia and later underwent a procedure known as rotationplasty to remove the cancerous bone, which included the knee. The surgery has allowed her to play sports. She is now doing her part to champion adaptive sports and fight the stigma against disabilities.
