Mohammad Mahdi is living with disability since he was born. Nevertheless, he and his family during the last five years have done their best to overcome this disability.
He went under surgery when he was 11 months old and after three months his first leg prosthetics were designed. It was the first step towards dreaming and tireless efforts.
In a family trip when he was 3 years old he used his hands to swim in the sea and proved that despite living with disability he can swim easily.
He says: “my dream is to participate in paralimbic games and win medals for Islamic Iran.” He is now working with his trainer to develop his abilities in sports. He is being trained on swimming and also, he learns English. If he can receive necessary support his dream to attend paralimbic games is achievable.
