Lia and India’s first female blade runner.
Key moments
I fell in the bathroom due to unbearable pain in the leg. I went to the doctor for a consultation and they found that during the operation the staples were used to seal my skin. He said, it was not a big deal because it was not like I was going to walk. I was shocked and angry. That day I made up my mind. Today, I am India’s first female blade runner.
We know about the following places
Running has made me stronger than before… even when I had both legs. Before the accident, I had not imagined that I could even run 10 km. Now with just one leg I can run a marathon.
Mantra to live
I will keep running and keep fighting.
Will you meet others
Losses and failures are temporary. Do not let them break your soul.
