By Elizabeth Landau, CNN

Jennifer Kreutzer, a mother of two who has primarily used a wheelchair since a skiing accident at age 16, said she believes she is doing everything she would want to do with her kids.

The family has a special bond because they're involved in activities others aren't, Kreutzer said. She and her 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters do fundraising for wheelchair sports activities; the girls also help move around specialized wheelchairs for sports.
