Tatsiana
Khvitsko was born in 1990 in belaurs. Her legs were not fully developed due to
radiation from nuclear power plant explosion.
Being
ambitious about her dream, she had always wanted to run but could not because
the cost of getting running blades was high. see more pics below
In
her statement she expressed what that it was never easy for her growing up,
"Being the only
one that has prostheses around your family and friends was always hard. I
always did my very best of hiding my prostheses by wearing long pants or long
dresses and skirts – it was my way of protecting myself from pity, but also
protecting myself from all of the staring."

At the age of 21, Khvitsko was invited to Florida to
meet with skilled prosthetists.
She
described how she felt the day that she received her first set of running legs which
had help her to run.
According
to her, running made her gain confident and proud of whom she is. She is no
more afraid to show off her legs and she has met so many people that have
changed her life.
Despite the
injuries she normally sustain while running, it does not stop her love for the
sport. She runs five days a week, and her desire is to run a marathon in five
and half hours.
That is so courageous, keep it up my woman
