Stephanie Hammerman was a twin born three months premature, weighing 1 pound, 15 ounces and with a mild case of cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a result of the loss of oxygen to the brain causing it to affect motor skills. For Hammerman, certain messages sent from the brain to the rest of the body don’t connect as quickly. She is able to move around with crutches and uses a motorized wheelchair, allowing her to live completely independently. She is also able to drive with a van that has push-pull hand controls. The 22-year-old attends graduate school at Nova South Eastern University, studying college student affairs, and hopes to work as a residence director. Hammerman says she wants to be able to do everything her nine able-bodied siblings can do and is preparing for her next half and full marathons in hand cycling.
