🏁 Carmen Giménez Abad’s story is one of grit, heartbreak, and hope. After surviving a domestic violence attack in 2010 that left her paralyzed, the Spanish athlete faced another unimaginable loss: the death of her newborn son. But instead of letting despair win, Carmen found healing in motion. 💨
Starting with short 100-meter races, she pushed her limits through grueling endurance training. Fast-forward to April 2024: Carmen made history as the first Spanish female wheelchair athlete to compete in the iconic Boston Marathon. 🌆 ‘Racing gave me purpose,’ she says. ‘Every mile is a reminder that we’re stronger than our struggles.’
Now, Carmen eyes a new finish line: the Paralympics. 🎯 Her message to others? ‘Life might knock you down, but you decide whether to stay there.’ From hospital beds to marathon roads, her journey proves resilience knows no limits. 👊
