Meet Emily Oberst: Silver Medal Paralympian & Wisconsin Native
In this episode of The Cabin, we sit down with Emily Oberst to discuss a journey defined by resilience, strength, and elite competition. Her story goes far beyond sports — after being diagnosed with cancer at just 12 years old, Emily faced challenges that would shape the rest of her life, eventually leading her to the world stage as a Paralympic wheelchair basketball athlete representing Team USA.
The Cabin is presented by the Wisconsin Counties Association and this week we’re featuring Chippewa County; wicounties.org
