TOUGH TIMES
She says she experienced a lack of tolerance in school due to her impairment. "I couldn't find understanding, I was laughed at. But I decided to prove that I'm not wrong, that something is wrong with other people." She achieved several successes in the 400m at junior national level, but then she was diagnosed with cancer. After treatment she returned to sport, but then at age 22 she was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in further damage to her health. After the accident she fell pregnant, but due to health problems caused by the accident, she lost her baby. "I decided to not give up because I sacrifice a lot, I knew I had to believe and fight even stronger for my dreams." The process of recovery took her almost eight years. "Besides pain and tragedy I have never given up on training, I do it for people who loved me and for whose who don't give up." (YouTube channel, 30 Mar 2019)
