CrossFit Amputee Athlete – Mona Patel

Hi, 

My friends, today’s story is of East Indian but American based CrossFit Amputee “Mona Patel”. She is right leg below knee amputee. Mona Patel got amputated because she was hit by a drunk driver while walking across the university campus. She is the mother of two daughters and a CrossFit Athlete. She had also started San Antonio Amputee Support group to help Amputees.

Let me tell you more about her

Mona Patel’s Hopes were shattered when she met with this accident. After accident doctors amputated her half afoot. She went through 20 surgeries in seven years, it was really very hard time for her and then she finally decided to below the Knee amputation in 1997. She was 25 years old after below-knee amputation and because of this accident, she was too worried about her future.

After amputation, she started workout 3 days a week with the help of her personal trainer and went to rehab. In 2008, she started running with the help of Prosthetic limb and was just focused to strengthening her residual limb. In 2009, she participated in San Antonio Rock n Roll Half Marathon.  

 

Now, she is an inspiration to other amputees and also the founder of the San Antonio Amputee Support Group. She has also started raising money for new amputees to provide them prosthetic limbs, home modifications, and trips to educational conferences. She suggests Amputees focus on rebuilding yourself physically and mentally, through negative people out of your life and be positive.
