Brenna Huckaby
Brenna Huckaby didn’t start off on the path of snowboarding, although she was always an athlete. As a young girl, she was a gymnast and had dreams of pursuing the sport. However, in 2010 she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, bone cancer. This led to her right leg being amputated. As soon as she was fitted with her prosthetic she began to delve into other ways to remain athletic and she found snowboarding. She moved from the warmth of Louisiana to the slopes of Salt Lake City and soon began training and competing. Although Brenna took a break in 2016 to have a daughter named Lilah, she quickly returned and began competing in the 2017 season and is set to make a good showing at the 2018 Winter Paralympics.
