KISHAN UPADHYAY'S CAMPAIGN TO HELP THIS PARA ATHLETE COMPETE IN THE 2022 WORLD GAMES IN PORTUGAL. by Kudumula Lokeshwari | Fueladream

Kudumula Lokeshwari is a Para Athlete from Saroornagar, Telangana. She has won several medals in discus and shotput in the state and national levels. She is the first Telangana woman to win medals in the F-37 category. She has qualified to represent India at the Wheelchair and Amputee World Games 2022 to be held at Portugal. It's a huge opportunity and she will make India proud. This campaign is being done by my schoolmates and me to help support her with the high expenses of participating in the competition as she hails from a very humble family.

THE BACKGROUND

(PIC: Lokeshwari at the 20th National Para Athletic Championship).

Kudumula Lokeshwari was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 10. She was partially paralysed (spastic hemiparesis) on the right side of her body. She has a disability of 74%. This resulted in her not being able to participate in what she enjoys the most - SPORTS. She also faced a lot of problems in school and in her community as people would sideline her for her disability.

After Grade 10, she discontinued schooling because her father met with an accident and her mother's salary was not sufficient to support their expenses. She worked 2 jobs a day to support her father's treatment but unfortunately could not save his life.

She got to know about para-sports in 2016 and started training for discus throw. She has won 6 Medals- 3 Bronze, and 3 Silver in shotput and discus throw. She is now selected for the IWAS WORLD GAMES to be held in Portugal from 23rd to 29th Nov 2022. She needs support to be able to participate and make her dream of winning a medal come true.
