"Stepping Towards Hope"

Wearing a satin bridesmaid dress for her sister's wedding, Mackenzie relies on her brother and the best man as they stand upright together. A pause, a few seconds to think, and then somehow a signal breaks through from her brain or her spine, and her right leg swings forward. "Brittanie didn't want to get married until Mackenzie could walk down the aisle with her," said the girls' father, Steve Gorden in Fort Dodge, IA. "I didn't know if it would ever happen or not, but it happened today."
