I was just a baby when I was given up. Born with a rare condition, doctors told my parents that my future was hopeless. But my story took an unexpected turn – not because it was easy, but because I refused to accept that my limits were already set.

I got a second chance through adoption, a home where I had the opportunity to become stronger, both physically and mentally. Yet the obstacles were great. I had to learn to cope with pain, with limitations imposed by my body. But sports became my salvation. It was my outlet, my motivation to keep going, my proof that I am stronger than what has ever been said about me. This also included equipment that helps me in daily life: a balance wheelchair that moves with me, allowing me to turn around easily in the supermarket, talk at eye level, and go over a threshold without a detour.

Today I am not only stronger; I am an athlete, a winner, and an inspiration to others. I have proven myself time and time again, from completing my first triathlon to achieving goals I once thought were impossible. Every victory, no matter how small, is a reminder that I am stronger than my past.

My story is one of hope, perseverance, and the strength to overcome obstacles. I hope it inspires you to never give up, no matter how tough it seems.
