Since severing her spine in an ATV accident in June 2014, Van Dyken-Rouen has been quite the inspiration. Within weeks of the accident, she was already in rehab.

She took her first steps with a walker in August 2014, rode a stationary bike without assistance in October 2014 and passed her hand-controlled driver’s test in January.
