One year ago, BYU student Monique McDown's right leg was paralyzed after being hit by a car while on her mission. After months of trying, doctors said there was nothing more they could do to help her regain feeling in her leg. Then this happened.

WALKING for the first time since paralyzed by a hit and run driver. Doctors told Monique McDown they had done all they could to reverse nerve damage to no avail. But on last Sunday... this happened! She says she never lost hope...and long ago forgave the driver, still at large.
