Jenny Smith

When Jenny was 16 years old, she sustained a C6-7 spinal cord injury, leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. After completing her master’s degree in counseling psychology, she distributed wheelchairs for eight years in developing countries. She provides education, practical solutions, resources, and hope so people can live full and productive lives on her website JennySmithRollsOn.com.

Jenny was Ms. Wheelchair Kentucky 1998 and participated in Discovery though Design as a "roll model" during New York Fashion Week. In her book Live the Impossible, Jenny shares her story of living with a spinal cord injury and shares her message that we can all live the impossible even when life doesn’t go as planned.
