Oksana Masters was born in Ukraine with birth defects believed to be associated with radiation from Chernobyl. She came to the US through adoption when she was seven, undersized and traumatized. Sports became her therapy, and now she represents the US at the Paralympics in Nordic skiing. Masters has participated in six Paralympics, both summer and winter games, and has a dozen Paralympic medals (so far) in four sports. The 2022 Winter Paralympics are going on now through March 13 in Beijing. (via TYWKIWDBI)

Thank you for this story today. The world can seem so bleak, so hopeless, it helps to hear about the courage and goodness that we flawed creatures are capable of.
