14: Becky Curran on changing the world with her story

While sailing in August of 1999, disability advocate Becky Curran felt numbness in her legs.  It was the first sign of a progressive condition that could take away her ability to walk.  After a successful back surgery, she encountered social changes as her friends in high school started excluding her because of her size. We talk about her life as a little person, misconceptions about the disabled community, and her mission to change the world for the next generation through the stories we tell.
