She aims to be an undercover agent oneday, but figures the wheelchair stuck under her butt will blow her cover every time. So for now, she is taking every opportunity to make a positive difference. By day she's a motivational speaker, and, by night, well, her parents are certain she's sneaking out of her bed. Melissa is partnered with the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Hope Love and Me Foundation, and as many safety councils as she can muster. Her passion is lowering the amount of annualspinal-cord injuries that are caused by destructive choice making. She also gets out of bed on a daily basis to help people find hope in their own journey. She knows she can't save the world, but her goal is to help the people in it. Her assertive pup, TobyMac, will attack on demand if you try to get in the way of that. Now that, well, that's a service dog.Godspeed.www.HopeLoveAndMe.orgInstagram: @hopeloveandmeview less
