Having a wheelchair shouldn’t stop you from achieving your goals in life!

Everybody has goals they want to accomplish in many facets of life. However, we often consider every potential roadblock before considering how to overcome them. That’s how people think by nature! This is one such tale of turning adversity into opportunity.
There are two reasons why this tale is fascinating. One is this person’s passion for sports despite their lacklustre nature. The other is his unbreakable relationship with his mother. For him, jogging creates a unique link with his mother, who is disabled.

Eric and Silvia Together, Eric and Silvis began running a marathon in Domingo Roldan, with Eric pushing the wheelchair to the finish line. It was odd and unique. Because of her numerous health problems, the mother will always need to use a wheelchair. However, her highly driven dad, who adores running, never considered it a hindrance or barrier to realising his ambition. As he has said, he is a dedicated runner, and the racers astounded him. He was inspired by the runners’ commitment, hard work, and enthusiasm. He also expressed his unwavering affection for the most important person to this.

We all clap and celebrate when the marathon champion crosses the finish line in the quickest time! However, what should we do if the race’s victor carries more weight?

Eric worked tirelessly for a worthwhile cause. He wanted to spread the word about his mother’s illness, which was an uncommon instance. Silvia was identified as having multiple sclerosis, a condition that impairs brain and spinal cord nerve networks and cells, making mobility challenging. They were told this tragic news when Eric was just seven years old. Having realised the seriousness of this illness, he decided to use this marathon to spread awareness.

Together, these factors enhanced Eric’s mental well-being and strengthened their relationship. Silvia felt so liberated as a result. When she sees the surroundings and moves out with regular people, she also develops mental health.

They were aiming for one thing! That is, to become the quickest marathon pusher in a wheelchair and break the Guinness record. They may have eventually reached their objective. It took them much practice, perseverance, and work to achieve the objective. They attempted again in 2021 with several players from all around the world who were, in fact, the quickest after failing in 2020.

The endeavour could have been more straightforward with the epidemic and all the other challenges they faced. Nevertheless, the will, bravery, and dedication were far more powerful than any new unrest.

It is also crucial to note that all proceeds from the campaign will go towards funding multiple sclerosis research, which will be a fantastic advancement in medical history and assist many of these parents in the future.

Above all, the most poignant message is this son’s love—which is priceless—for his mother!
