Jessica Long has more medals than she can fit around her neck. She is the second most-winning U.S. Paralympic athlete in history with 29 medals, 16 of them gold. Her love of swimming began at age 10, a place where her amputated legs didn't slow her down. She could move freely, and she could move quickly. For Long, mobility is freedom and her partnership with Toyota is due to that common belief. Beyond her athleticism, she is an author, advocate, public speaker, and sports personality determined to make the best out of life.
