54-year-old Nguyen Phuong Dai from Da Nang is an inspiration. Once completely paralyzed due to spinal cord neuritis, she now participates in marathons, running dozens of kilometers. Her story is a testament to her resilience and determination.
Dai's journey back to mobility was undoubtedly arduous. After her diagnosis of spinal cord neuritis, a condition that causes inflammation of the nerves in the spinal cord, she lost all feeling and movement in her limbs. Through rigorous physical therapy and unwavering willpower, she slowly regained control of her body.
Now, a seasoned runner, Dai participates in numerous races, including the VnExpress Marathon Da Nang. This marathon, taking place in sunny Da Nang, attracts runners from across the country and beyond. Dai's participation showcases not only her personal triumph but also the inclusive nature of the event.
The VnExpress Marathon Da Nang has been lauded as a key event contributing to Da Nang's reputation as a running paradise. Runners from all walks of life, including a police officer preparing for the marathon, have praised the city's ideal conditions for running. The event also promotes a healthy lifestyle within the city.
