QUEEN CREEK, AZ — Despite being legally blind, a 12-year-old Valley girl isn't letting that stop her from chasing her dreams.
London Gomez was born with a rare eye condition, and after years of therapy, she reached a milestone years in the making.
This week, London competed in her first-ever barrel racing competition.
The youngster first started riding horses at age five during an equine therapy session but her competitive spirit quickly grew to want more.
