Lindsey Roy has experienced unique challenges in her life, including a leg amputation from a traumatic boating accident and a rare disease leading to a double lung transplant. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have transformed into a passion to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them.
