[b]Pressure vs. Inspiration[/b]
[b]Another Unbelievable Fact:[/b]
Indian volleyball player, Arunima Sinha was pushed from a running train by some robbers in 2011 while she was resisting them. As a result, her left leg had to be amputated below the knee, she got rods in the right leg and multiple fractures in spinal cord.
While still being treated in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, she resolved to climb Mount Everest. She was inspired by cricketer Yuvraj Singh (who had successfully battled cancer) and other television shows, "to do something" with her life.
Sinha climbed Island Peak (6150 metres) in 2012 as preparation for her ascent of Everest.
Sinha reached the summit of Mount Everest at 10:55 am on 21 May 2013, as part of the Tata Group-sponsored Eco Everest Expedition, becoming the first female amputee to scale Everest. She took 52 days to reach the summit.
She wrote a small message thanking the Almighty on a wrapped cloth and pressed it in the snow. Recounting the incident, she said:
[i]"It was my tribute to Shankara Bhagawan, and Swami Vivekananda who has been an inspiration throughout my life."[/i]
