Making Triumph From Tragedy: Mandy Horvath becomes the first female double amputee to climb Mt Kilimanjaro!!

Summary: In 2014, Smithville MO native Mandy Horvath was having drinks with friends...what happened next remains unclear, but likely her drink was spiked...and she was found on a set of railroad tracks, both legs severed above the knees. Most people would give up...and Mandy almost did...but she eventually decided to turn this tragedy into something more positive. She's climbed Pike's Peak twice. She's climbed the Manitou Incline in Colorado. And recently, she became the first female double amputee to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro!! Mandy stopped by the studio for a visit, and what followed was a conversation about her amazing journey from tragedy to triumph!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
