I would like to introduce myself. My name is Simona Poláková and I am 31 years old.
When I was 8 years old, I had a serious car accident, after which I had to learn to walk and talk from scratch. I flew through the rear window of the car, I had bleeding into the ventricles of my skull. It was a long and difficult battle, but I gradually managed it. When I finished it, movement became a part of my life. I started swimming, later I did triathlon, tennis, volleyball and even the Spartan race – I did everything that allowed me to be in motion. Movement was everything to me.
In 2024, I married my beloved man. However, two months after the wedding.
I suffered a head injury, after which my life completely changed again.
I suffered a head injury when I hit my head on the corner of a cabinet. I broke it on the side that had been operated on in a car accident when I was a child. Instead of spending Christmas with my new husband at home, I spent it in the hospital. And I returned home with a diagnosis of hemiparesis, which was later joined by ataxia.
I loved sports, I had plans and goals.
I wanted to run a half marathon and compete in the Super category (10km and 25 obstacles) at the Spartan race. Today, everything is different. Walking is very difficult for me and in everyday life I am dependent on a wheelchair. Even the most ordinary things cost me a lot of strength.
My husband is a man with a big heart.
In addition to being a great cook and doing what I can't do at home, he is also there for me and encourages me. I am glad that God sent him my way. I am also undergoing intensive rehabilitation, which helps me fight to get back on my feet. I know that without exercise, my muscles weaken – and I don't want to give up.
What exactly will the money from this campaign be used for?
I recently had the opportunity to try out the special Azub tricycle.
The model that is suitable for my health condition costs €7,600. It gave me stability, confidence and at the same time allowed me to actively engage my legs. It was a feeling of freedom for me that I haven't experienced in a long time. Thank you very much for your help.
Milestone 1 – €3,000
This amount is needed to start production of the special tricycle. Without it, the order cannot be launched.
Milestone 2 – €7,600
The second part of the amount is intended for the final payment of the tricycle after its completion. Only after the full amount is paid will I be able to use it to its full potential.
