Christina Kreil fell in love with soccer in fifth grade and played through high school. But she did so while experiencing pain in her right foot. "It was really hard to kick with the tumor," she said. "I managed to play through my senior year, and then I was just kind of managing the pain."
Christina was diagnosed with a giant cell tumor of the bone at 17 years old, a rare disease that eventually led to the amputation of her foot last February.
Just over a year later, she found a way to play soccer again when she discovered the U.S. Women's National Amputee Soccer Team.
