This girl became a ballerina after getting her leg amputated

Gabi Shull had her leg amputated after being diagnosed with a rare bone cancer when she was just nine-years-old. 

The operation Gabi got involved removing her knee, rotating her foot 180 degrees, and then reattaching it to her upper leg, with her ankle serving as her knee.

Six years on, Gabi has made a full recovery from cancer, and has become accustomed to her new life as an amputee. 

This 15-year-old warrior has also defied the odds, and become a successful ballerina!

Six years after the surgery to remove her right leg, Gabi dances competitively in pointe, hip-hop, contemporary, and jazz!

Gabi has also become the face and spokesperson for The Truth 65, which is a social media campaign that aims at raising awareness for children suffering from cancer.

What a truly inspirational young woman!
