Mikenzie Adams is the 11-year-old cheerleader who isn’t letting anything stop her from busting out her incredible moves! Mikenzie was born with a rare disease and had her right leg amputated when she was a baby. That challenge drove her to achieving her dream of becoming a cheerleader. With the help of a prosthetic, she’s now on not one, but two cheerleading teams in her hometown of Yermo, California. She was even featured in a commercial for Nike with her idol, Simone Biles.
