Surfing always has been my thing. When you catch a wave it is the most magical feeling ever. Last year everything changed in my life and I became very ill. I got bitten by a Zika mosquito and because of the bite I got GBS (auto-immune, muscle, nerve disease). I survived, but I ended up in a wheelchair not knowing if I could ever walk again.. No even thinking about surfing.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The last year and a half has been a challenge. This year, on my birthday, I managed to be on a surfboard again.. For the first time! I was not able to stand up, because my muscles were still weak.\u00a0But I was there in the water and that was all that matters.<\/p>\n\n
