YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Alexandra Robles was an active person from running in marathons to playing soccer. However, after going unconscious earlier this year, she discovered she has a neurological disorder.
“Since then, it’s been a journey, it’s been a ride where, I am fighting everyday for my life,” Robles says.
This caused her to lose control of certain parts of her body, including her ability to walk.
She has since been going to physical therapy and several doctors to try to regain her strength.
“Life can impact you in just…from one day to another, and just seeing everything that I’ve went through, it’s been very tough,” said an emotional Robles.
With her family being by her side, Robles said it is a struggle, but she is doing it to inspire her children and others.
Luis Robles, her husband, describes how he has seen her stay strong throughout this process.
“Seeing her throughout these couple months, where I can see her growth since the beginning, since it happened up until now, it’s been amazing, like everything she’s ever accomplished, she has a lot of strength,” he says.
She says she would like to thank the local community for all the support they have shown her throughout this time.
Robles is now an online facilitator for the same school she used to teach at.
She shares one message of inspiration for those going through similar struggles.
“Keep going. I know that healing can be messy, but if you find your motivation to keep going you will rise,” Robles says.
