What initially made you interested in running?
After competing in two Paralympics in tandem cycling, I wanted a new challenge. I started swimming and running, eventually moving into triathlons. Now, I compete in cycling races, triathlons, and marathons.
Tell us your story, why do you run?
I want to show people that disabilities don’t define limits. Running is my way of proving that anything is possible with determination and the right support. I run with my guide, ensuring that my blindness is never an obstacle. Every race we complete together is a message to others that no dream is out of reach, no matter the challenges they face.
Have you ever participated in races or marathons for a charitable cause? What motivated you?
Yes! In the Belgrade Marathon 2024, I joined the Buy My Kilometer campaign, raising funds for sick children. Running for a cause adds even more purpose to every step.
Are you running for a specific cause this year?
Yes, with my guide and close friend, Deki. We've completed many races together, proving that teamwork overcomes any challenge. I want to inspire others to push past their own limits.
