Kolakanta has Multiple Sclerosis, and while it’s a challenge to find accessible trails for this outdoors lover, she keeps on keeping on, in all aspects of her life. Kolakanta hikes, dances, and skis either on an adapted Segway with a seat or a sit-ski. Her optimism comes from finding the “inner smile” within her. For her, that smile comes from her strong faith in God. “He’ll get me through everything. There’s always joy.”
Kolakanta's story will challenge you to seek optimism over obstacles. Read it here.
