‘The best gift I could have received:’ Military rehab center welcomes civilian teen after amputation

Noah Adams, 18, is fighting a rare form of cancer as he learns to walk again.
Adams isn’t rehabilitating at just any facility. He’s now a patient at the Center for the Intrepid, a world-class facility that usually only treats military members or veterans who have experienced amputation or burns.
Recently, Adams, who was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma last year, worked with his physical therapist, Troy Hopkins, for the first time after receiving his prosthetic leg.
“It’s awesome. I’ve been waiting for it for like six months,” Adams said. “I can finally put my brain towards something instead of just sitting around waiting.”
