Mpho’s Journey: No Limits.
Mpho is an active learner, she was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD), a rare condition affecting the femur. This caused one of her limbs to be shorter than the other.
Mpho became a Jumping Kids recipient in 2022 and was fitted with a prosthetic limb. She has since made progress especially in her favourite sport, tennis and looking forward to being able to run.
