Jen Bricker was born without legs—and left at the hospital by her biological parents. But after being adopted by a wonderful, loving family, she enjoyed what was (by any standard other than physical) a regular childhood.
She became obsessed with gymnastics, idolizing American gold-medalist Dominique Moceanu. And because she had never been told she “couldn’t” do something, Jen herself began to compete. Seemingly against all odds, Jen went on to defeat able-bodied athletes and become a State Champion in power tumbling.
But it was when she was grown that her life took an incredible twist of fate… As an adult, Jen learned that she had a biological sister… And that it was none other than Dominique, the world-famous gymnast who had inspired her as a child.
Now, as an accomplished acrobat and aerialist, Jen travels the world. She was a featured performer in Britney Spears’ “Circus” Tour, and has appeared as the headliner at the prestigious Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas and the Shangri La hotel in Dubai.
Jen’s story has been featured on HBO Real Sports, 20/20, Good Morning America, and other programs.
In 2016 she will release Everything is Possible, the story of her inspiring and amazing life.
She now speaks and performs as an aerialist regularly, hoping to inspire and motivate others to believe that, truly, everything is possible.
