Going for Gold; a Nebraska woman has her sights set on the big prize in London.
One local woman is headed to London to compete for Team USA in Sitting Volleyball.
Her name is Allison Aldrich, a teacher at Wilber-Clatonia, who will be participating in the Paralympics in London, England in a few weeks.
She has a quite a story to tell. A cancer survivor, she lost part of her leg at age seven--it had to be amputated.
But she never gave up her quest to become a great athlete.
To watch her story, just click on Owen Jensen's report above.
Good luck to Allison, as she goes for the gold!!!
