In January 2023, Jamin Pugh, known in wrestling as Jay Briscoe, tragically passed away in a car accident that also severely injured his daughters, Gracie and Jayleigh. Gracie suffered a spinal cord injury, while Jayleigh endured significant injuries to her leg, collarbone, and stomach.

Initially, doctors were uncertain if Gracie would walk again. Yet, through dedicated surgery and intense rehabilitation, she has achieved an extraordinary recovery. Today, Gracie can walk, run, and even tumble. Reflecting on her progress, she credits her faith and her father’s memory, saying, "I had to remember that my dad would never want me to be in a wheelchair and to follow in God."

Gracie recently shared her recovery journey in a video profile by Central Worship Center. In the video, she opens up about the challenges she faced, the role of her faith, and the determination that fueled her progress. The footage also highlights moments from her recovery, showcasing her incredible resilience and strength.

Gracie’s story is a powerful reminder of how faith, determination, and support from loved ones can help overcome life’s most difficult challenges. Watch the full video profile below.
