Breaking Down Barriers, Brittany Elliott

Elliott’s career in the Marine Corps was cut short when a training accident resulted in a broken femur. She worked hard in physical therapy and hoped to continue her service, but with 30 days of PT remaining, she was hit by a drunk driver in a car accident that left her with a severed spinal cord injury, paralyzed from the neck down. She was medically retired after just six months, but even that doesn’t keep her from enjoying life to the fullest.
At the 2023 National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass Village, Colo, she shines as a fearless adaptive skier and a voice and advocate for Veterans with DAV and ReWalk exoskeletal device.
