BLOOD CLOT SURVIVORS CAN DO ANYTHING!!!
You have seen me write this more times that I can count but it is the absolute truth.
Every story that I see about blood clot survivors overcoming the challenges related to blood clots inspires me everyday to keep the effort going about spreading awareness and celebrating all blood clot survivors.
Over the past weeks I also saw another source of inspiration in watching the coverage of the Tokyo Paralympics. I am was so proud that my boys wanted to see the coverage about the various events and what people are capable to overcome. If you have not seen Paralympic Athletes in action you should definitely make it priority because there is nothing like it. The determination to overcome by those athletes is truly remarkable.
While watching these coverage I came across a familiar face that I have known about for many years from her participation and success in the Paralympics but also because she is a formidable long distance/endurance athlete. I have seen her perform and win at the highest levels of the wheelchair division of famous marathons but I never really knew about her battle with blood clots (diagnosed blood clotting disorder) and how that incident almost derailed her sports career when she was at her highest level.
TATYANA certainly has a story to tell that is very much worth learning about. She has been able to overcome the challenges of her condition to continue to be a world class athlete. It is truly impressive to read about her tenacity, dedication, and mental fortitude.
The link below will lead you to a video in which TATYANA speaks about her experience... check it out!
"Anything is possible for those who believe"
There is no question that Tatyana believes in herself and that is what ALL Blood Clot Survivors also do in order to overcome.
For sure we will continue to see Tatyana on the biggest stage showing everyone that BLOOD CLOT SURVIVORS CAN DO ANYTHING.
Never Stop Trying and Going Forward.
