'Never lose courage': A Paralympian who could barely walk as a kid takes 2 track medals.
In a few days, she will leave the Paralympics in Paris with two medals and arrive home to a massive celebration.
Pal, now 23 years old, was born with cerebral palsy and misshapen legs and feet, so she could barely walk as a child.
When I was 18, I was watching sports videos on social media, and a video showing para athletes popped up.
People used to say about me, “she can’t even walk properly, so how can she run well?”
Since I wasn’t able keep my feet straight on the ground, I would just walk on the front of my feet.
