A Point Lookout athlete is going for her second gold medal at the upcoming Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

The opening ceremony for the games takes place Tuesday.

This will be Lora Webster's fifth Paralympics and she is shooting for another gold medal in the sitting volleyball game.

Webster's journey began at age 11 when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which is a bone cancer. Webster underwent an above-knee amputation and then reconstructive surgery.

She says she is pumped to compete this year and hopes to make her community and family proud.
