This image released by Disney-ABC Domestic Television shows host Katie Couric, left, with Aimee Copeland, 24, of Snellville, Ga., who survived a rare fleshing-eating disease, during an exclusive interview on the new daytime talk show "Katie," Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012 in New York. Copeland walked to the stage using a new walker. Copeland was joined in New York by her parents and sister. After Couric interviewed the family, she announced that an Atlanta-area Chevrolet dealer was in the studio to give Copeland a new minivan that will be retrofitted so she can drive it. Copeland got the infection in May after falling from a zip line and gashing her leg. Doctors had to amputate both hands, her left leg and right foot. She returned home to suburban Atlanta last week after three months in the hospital and a rehabilitation clinic. (AP Photo/Disney-ABC Domestic Television, Ida Mae Astute)
