 Determined to beat the odds, Patriot High School student walks at graduation
Jenna Sheehy was just a freshman at Patriot High School when she suffered a stroke that left her with cognitive and physical challenges. Jenna had an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a condition which occurs when blood vessels form incorrectly. After spending two weeks in a coma, doctors warned her family that she was in grave condition and may not be able to walk or talk again. But Jenna is a fighter and was determined to walk at graduation. Watch Video
