A Massachusetts student was just a few weeks into the eighth grade when her life was changed forever: She was hit by a landscaping truck while riding her bike to school. McKenna Savage, now a sophomore in high school, was seriously injured but has made a remarkable recovery that includes returning to competitive athletics. “Look at McKenna Savage, and you’ll see a kid that pushed through adversity, doesn’t take no for an answer," said Uxbridge High School principal Michael Rubin.

"I forgot I had a family. I thought mom was like an intruder. I had no idea why I was there. It was so weird," McKenna said about waking up after the crash. It wasn't long before she took part in her first track meet since the crash. She has since started playing golf again and is back to her biggest passion, skiing.
