Morgan Stickney was one of the country's top teenage distance swimmers before vascular problems led to the amputations of both of her legs -- the left in 2018, and the right in 2019. Undeterred, Stickney continued training and was able to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics after the pandemic postponed the Summer Games one year. Stickney won a gold medal in both the 400-meter freestyle and the 4x100-meter medley relay. In this episode of "Stories with Street CRed" podcast, the 24-year-old Stickney discusses her past physical and mental challenges, winning gold and what lies ahead in her continuing inspirational journey.
