Janae Heegaard swings on a rope to knock down a punching bag with her feet at Moose (L)-Up in Sycamore, Ill. on Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. Janae recently started going to Moose (L)-Up with her whole family, she works on her stability exercises and then has some time to climb on other equipment while the rest of her family also works out and with the trainers. Doctors found a Wilms' tumor in Janae's kidney when she was five years old. As a result of the chemotherapy, one of Janae's kidneys was removed and she also developed neuropathy, which led to some stunted growth in her legs and Achilles tendon. Her parents were told that Janae would recover about 90 to 95% but would probably not be able to play on a competitive level in sports that required heavy use of the legs.
