Flipping incredible! 11-year-old girl who had her leg amputated as a baby becomes a star CHEERLEADER, wowing crowds by performing stunts and tumbles with a prosthetic limb
Mikenzie Adams, from Yermo, California, was born with a rare disease that results in the partial or total absence of the tibia bone
Doctors amputated her right leg above the knee when she was just one, to give her the best chance at an active future
She was fitted with a prosthetic limb when she was 16 months old, and took up cheerleading when she was just four
Mikenzie now cheers with two teams - ParaCheer Spirit, a para cheer team in Illinois, and Spirit Athletics, an all-star able-bodied cheer team in her hometown
