Exceptional athlete with extreme projects
Deborah is high-ranked pro SUP athlete actively competing but also dealing with a rare blood disease. As treatment, she receives donor blood every week. One of the side effects of this treatment are the heavy unexpected sugar drops (hypoglycemia's) that are dangerous during water sports and increase the risk of drowning. Another side effect is the low energy level. Despite this physical limitation, giving up is not in her dictionary and she lives by the motto "I can, I want and I will do it!".
