About 10 years ago, Hanna Sheppard of Brookhaven, N.Y. suffered a spinal injury that almost robbed her of her ability to walk. She dove into her pool and hit the concrete head-on, cracking her C5 vertebra in half. When she began taking classes at the Mount in 2012, she walked using a pair of crutches.
