One-Legged Cheerleader Proves Fear Won’t Halt Ambition
Aberdeen cheerleader Jodi Walters, 19, from Raymond, is a Valley High senior among four squad members who perform stunts despite congenital leg defects. She has worn a below knee artificial leg since childhood, with her 20th prosthesis funded by Shriners Hospital in Portland at no cost. Each limb costs about 1600 dollars. She notes doctors initially discouraged heavy activity but kept pursuing cheer.
