 We all have obstacles in life, but U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey team goaltender, Chanda Gunn doesn’t let her impediments get in the way. When it comes to competing on the ice, U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey team goaltender, Chanda Gunn takes on the competition with the precision and skill needed to compete at a world-class level.
But she faces a bigger competition everyday. Chanda started playing hockey when she was 13 years old. She was a swimmer until she was nine. When she was diagnosed with epilepsy it wasn’t really safe for her to be in the pool. So she of tried out a bunch of other sports. When she tried her brother’s favorite sport, ice hockey she loved it.
Gunn says, “I have been very lucky in that I’ve found a medication that controls my seizures. So I just have to communicate with my doctors take my medication, get plenty of sleep, eat right, and exercise regularly.”
What a winner! And what a great example for other kids with physical obstacles! For more information about Epilepsy go to Epilepsy.com.
