Rachel Lauria was an aspiring dancer who moved to New York City to follow her dreams in 2012, but upon arrival in the big city her path changed. The Flowery Branch native got a blood clot in her left leg, leaving her unable to dance. Lauria said doctors told her high-impact activity such as dance likely wouldn’t be possible in the future.
