Now, she enters a new chapter as she navigates life post-recovery, embracing her identity and focusing on her passion for parathletics.

In an interview with G1, Lorena expressed how engaging in sports has offered her more than just physical benefits; it has aided in her emotional and psychological recovery. The transition from a cancer survivor to aspiring paralympic athlete showcases her determination and willingness to inspire others facing similar challenges. Lorena's journey continues to resonate within the community, proving that overcoming adversity can lead to new beginnings and achievements.
