Brave Gendi: In the swim!
Swapping her wheelchair for a wetsuit, Gendi Roberts is determined not to let her life-threatening illness get in the way of conquering the State Open Swim Series as an elite swimmer.
Although the 18-year-old describes swimming as ‘life-changing’, she pays a heavy price for her passion. Each stroke causes her immense pain due to a rare degenerative condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which has left Gendi with digestion problems, chronic fatigue, partial blindness and frequent bone dislocations.
