Life can be tough sometimes, but Lucinda Bueti’s story shows how strength and determination can help us get through even the hardest times. On the D8 Training Podcast, Ann-Marie Antic talks to Lucinda, an amazing wheelchair basketball player whose life changed after a workplace injury. She was diagnosed with a painful condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). This made it so hard to move that she had to use a wheelchair and take strong medicine every day just to feel okay.
Even though many doctors didn’t know how to help, Lucinda didn’t give up. She tried lots of treatments and surgeries, and finally, she made a brave choice: to have her leg amputated. Though she had to give up her leg, Lucinda gained so much more freedom. Her pain was gone, and she felt free for the first time in years. She also learned three important lessons:
Lucinda didn’t stop there. She decided to get back into sports and started playing wheelchair basketball. It helped her stay active, gave her a new purpose, and brought her amazing new friends.
Now, Lucinda plays for the Australian Gliders, the national wheelchair basketball team. She also speaks out about how adaptive sports can help people with disabilities stay active and happy. Her story proves that even when life gets really hard, you can find a way to keep going and reach your goals.
