Megan started dancing at the age of 3, but at the age of 16, she was diagnosed with bone cancer.

Back in 2012, Megan Grygiel was a 16-year-old dancer, high school student, and cancer patient who bravely led hundreds of participants at the start of the ATI Foundation Metal Walk.

As a beneficiary of the ATI Foundation, Megan and her family received funding to help them with medical costs after she underwent a knee and partial femur replacement due to bone cancer. She started her recovery and rehabilitation at ATI and just two weeks after her last chemotherapy treatment, Megan was walking at the Metal Walk event.

“I was only expecting to walk the 1K version of the walk with her,” said Megan’s father, Jeff Grygiel, “But she wanted to prove that she could do the whole thing.”

Megan is the perfect example of someone who has overcome a physical impairment and someone who has benefited from the ATI Foundation.
