The real heroes are always thankful for all the struggles they go through. They believe that it’s their struggles that make them stronger and better.

Real heroes don’t let their struggle break them. Rather, they let it make them. And, one such real hero is this 11-year-old track athlete, Rhea Bullos, from the Philippines, who has touched millions of hearts through her dedication towards sports.

As per Indian Express, Rhea Bullos recently ran in an inter-school running competition wearing ‘homemade’ shoes made entirely out of bandages.

Bullos also added her own ‘Nike’ logo on the sides of the bandages that covered her ankles and soles. According to CBS Sports, this young athlete, irrespective of her circumstances, won the competition along with three gold medals in the 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1,500-meter competitions.
