This Brave Woman Claims That Having A Stroke Was The Best Thing That Has Ever Happened To Her
In 2015, Riona Kelly, a 37-year-old mother of four, faced two life-altering challenges. After suffering a stroke, she became paralyzed from the waist down. Despite doctors’ grim prognosis that she might never walk again, it was the abandonment by her husband of 14 years that devastated her most. Just five days after her stroke, he filed for divorce.
With support from her friend Sarah and her children, Riona began her recovery. She was eventually introduced to Keith Mason, a former rugby player and her physical therapist, who played a key role in her rehabilitation.
Through dedication, including hundreds of hours of therapy, Riona regained some mobility and even completed marathons in her wheelchair. With the help of cutting-edge AI-powered bionic legs, Riona is now able to walk.
Riona and Keith’s story inspired millions, especially during the COVID lockdowns, as they shared their journey on social media. However, by 2023, it seems their relationship has ended, with Riona deleting her social media profiles, while Keith has not posted recent updates about her.
Riona’s journey is a powerful reminder of resilience, showing how one can overcome adversity, find strength, and keep moving forward.
