Riyana, at 15 years old, is not only interested in table tennis, but has already become a two-time wheelchair table tennis champion!

The girl was involved in sports from early childhood, and she liked to feel strong and agile. But her regular stroller was not as maneuverable as a sports stroller and prevented Riyana from showing her best results. Riyana's parents were very supportive of her passion for sports and tried to help her as much as they could. But buying a new modern sports wheelchair was expensive. Then they decided to ask for help from our foundation. Thanks to an open collection in the charity app Tooba, we bought the young sports star such an important sports wheelchair!

Riyana was over the moon! She immediately tried out her new technique in training and felt faster and more confident in her movements. Riyana thanks all the tubers and promises to justify their trust and win new sports victories on her magnificent wheelchair!

About the campaign

Riyana, a young athlete with spina bifida, needs a new stroller!

At birth, Riyana was diagnosed with congenital spinal hernia, or spina bifida. The girl has many concomitant diagnoses: hydrocephalus and paresis of the lower limbs. Riyana moves around in a wheelchair, but this does not prevent the girl from living a full life!

Her mother brought Riyana to the table tennis section when she was still a child. Table tennis is a game that requires not only good technique, instant reaction, but also concentration and psychological stability. Already now Riyana is a numerous prize-winner of district, republican and Russian competitions, bronze and silver medalist of the Russian Table Tennis Championship!

Now the girl needs a maneuverable and comfortable sports wheelchair, which will meet all the needs of a young athlete. Let's help Riyana to buy a sports wheelchair so that the girl continues to achieve success in table tennis!
