Maria do Sol Riding Every Wave

"Everything is a wave — and we surf them together."

My Journey

Maria surfing

I lost both my legs when I was just 45 days old. But that never stopped me from chasing the waves. Today, I am the Brazilian Surfing Vice Champion and ranked among the Top 10 in the world. The ocean taught me that limitations exist only in the mind.

I am a mother of five beautiful children and a proud grandmother. My family is my anchor, my strength, and my greatest wave. They remind me every day why I fight to create a more inclusive world.

Maria as athlete

From a double amputee to a high-performance athlete, author, and artist — my journey proves that resilience has no limits. I've become a symbol of what's possible when you refuse to let the world define your capabilities.

My Mission

When life changes the design, there is still a way.

I exist to show that mobility and hope can be redesigned through courage, faith, and inner strength — grounded in loving yourself as you are.

From this place of self-acceptance and alignment, movement becomes possible, visibility expands, and ableism is challenged by example, not by pity.

Maria's Mobility Fund exists to make this redesign possible — turning courage into movement, faith into direction, strength into continuity, and self-love into lasting impact.

This is my wave. A new design in motion.

Donations will be made to Dare2tri.
