Inspiring Videos of Parathlete Arnold Balais

Arnold Balais is one of the many who braved the Men’s Health Urbanthlon 2015 : Survival of the Fittest. Arnold is an amputee. He lost one of his legs due to chronic osteomyelitis when he was in his teens.

Though he’s a parathlete who represented the country for bench press and swimming, it was his first time to join a 10K race, and it’s with tough obstacles!

According to Arnold, “No excuses. No excuse na di mo pwedeng gawin. Kasi pag inisip mo pa lang na di mo pwedeng gawin, hindi mo talaga gagawin. Pero pag positiveka, tapos may goal ka, yun, ma-a-achieve mo.”

Here are inspiring videos taken by the MH Team during the Urabanthlon 2015 at The Fields in Nuvali, Laguna.
