Jackie was swimming off the coast of Cape Cod on a friend’s boat.  When moving the boat, the person was not aware Jackie was still in the water and the boat propellor was right by her legs at the time, both legs were sucked into the propellor, resulting in a below knee amputation. 

“What would you do if you know you could not fail? These words, attributed to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt”
