    Julia, from Harrisburg, NC, has a smile that will light up a room and a backstroke that will intimidate her best competitors. As a swimmer for most of her life, the water is definitely her “happy place”. Suddenly Julia suffered a rare stroke that caused severe trauma to her brain. This life-altering trauma impaired her short-term memory and balance. Not only did she have to come out of the water, she also had to take a step back from routines like school and driving. She has grown leaps and bounds since the stroke and has returned to swimming and even started coaching with some of her extra time. Julia’s ultimate sports dream would be to meet her role-model, Olympic gold medalist swimmer, Katie Ledecky.
