At age 20, Elesha Turner was diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening bone cancer which looked as though it would necessitate amputation of her leg. In a remarkable turn of events, doctors were able to replace almost all of the bones in her leg with titanium.

Despite being heavily scarred and needing the aid of a crutch, Elesha was determined to follow her dream of modelinmg.
