This journey was not just about personal awards; it was a testament to our resilience and determination. The profound impact table tennis had on our lives inspired us to channel our success into a meaningful cause, laying the foundation for "Table Tennis For Life". Through our initiatives, we aim to promote health, connection, and well-being through the transformative power of table tennis, inspiring others to find their strength and passion.
