Allysia Crook,center, a 7th grader on the Baldwin Middle School Eagles team in Hudsonville, Mich. poses with teammates, Madelyn Notenbaum, left, and, Emily Livingston before their basketball game against Creekside Middle School on March 17, 2011. Alyssia, 12, was born with defects to her legs that affect her nerves, arteries, veins and cartilage. On Feb. 28, Alyssia's parents were told by doctors that they were reduced to two choices: Either shorten Alyssia's legs and live in fear of ever incurring an injury to the limbs, or undergo an amputation of the left leg, which was more severely affected.
