Paralyzed Teen Megan Silcott Walks in New York Fashion Week

https://gma.yahoo.com/paralyzed-teen-megan-silcott-walks-york-fashion-week-144915532--abc-news-fashion-and-beauty.html

The biggest leap forward for Megan came this winter when the fashion designer Nina Perdomo called Megan and asked her to walk in New York Fashion Week wearing one of Perdomo’s designs.

“I design for a woman that is strong and knows what she wants from life,” Perdomo said. “And I feel like Megan is the perfect example of that.”

"I think just getting out there and showing everyone I can do it," Megan said when asked what she was most looking forward to in her runway debut. "That I'm confident enough to walk down the runway with a walker."

On Monday night, Megan walked down the prestigious runway, taking center stage at Lincoln Center in New York City.
