Kendra Herber ’07 was born with fibular hemimelia, a congenital limb deficiency where the fibula is short or missing, and had her foot amputated at age two. Rather than holding her back, Herber’s disability would motivate her to become an inspiring teacher, mother, world-ranked paratriathlete, model, self-published author and motivational speaker. She praised The University of Toledo for offering a safe, inclusive place to find her purpose and see her disability as a strength rather than a weakness.
