Pulse survivor Amanda Grau, shot four times at the nightclub six years ago, fought fear to chase a dream.
Addressing an audience gathered for a Pulse memorial ceremony, she recalled her struggle to recover physically and mentally.
“For almost a year after the shooting, I didn’t want to go anywhere or see anybody, but my mom and my family told me you can’t live a life in fear,” Grau said. “It made me realize that if I stayed inside all the time, afraid, that it was like I hadn’t truly survived at all.”
