Reinertsen and Rossbach Appear on Nightline

Sarah Reinertsen, a member of the Amputee Coalition of America's (ACA's) Board of Directors and Paddy Rossbach, ACA's CEO/President, were featured on Nightline, July 20.

Sarah Reinertsen is a woman defined by courage to overcome, achieve and give back to the world that gave her strength. When she discovered her opportunities, she never looked back and has dedicated her lifeto reaching new heights and sharing with others how to overcome limitations others set before them. She is an athlete, a role model, a journalist, and an advocate of changing the public's perception of people with limb differences.

Paddy Rossbach discussed her mentor relationship with Sarah and how the roles have reversed over the years. Paddy, no stranger to sports, is a marathon runner, a competitive horseback rider, and a national dressage champion as well.

Sarah will be the first amputee woman to complete the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, in October 2005.

Founded in 1986, the ACA is a national 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. The mission of the ACA is to reach out to people with limb loss to empower them through education, support and advocacy. In cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the ACA established the National Limb Loss Information Center (NLLIC) in 1997, the nation's only comprehensive source of information for people living with limb differences.
