When life is not always what it seems

We already approached the subject of extreme sports and of taking risk.

I would like to share with you this story.

Kelly was willing to deal with adversities with courage and determination. She lost her leg at 15 from cancer. However, she didn't give up her love for sports. Before the amputation of her right leg, she was a promising netballer.Then, she was unable to practice this sport again. But there was another way and she find out that running itself could be also interesting. So finally, she loved it.

A great example of how we can turn failures to opportunities.

Sometimes life itself can be like an extreme sport :-).

  1. What an amazing girl! Thank you for this story. I hope last year's paralympics and stories like this have inspired a lot of disabled people to become more active.
