What keeps pushing Cassie Mitchell to compete in the Paralympics?
Maybe it’s stubbornness, a refusal to let the degenerative neurological condition that has paralyzed much of her body control what she does.
Maybe it’s the fact that, despite three trips to the Paralympic Games going back to London in 2012 and despite medaling in 2016 and 2021, she still doesn’t have an elusive gold medal.
Or, maybe it’s simply that she’s been an athlete her entire life and thrives by pushing herself.
