László Fazekas suffers from muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair, but he is optimistic

"The problems started almost a year ago, the symptoms appeared," said László Fazekas, who is currently in Spain. “I lost strength first in my legs, then my hands. I couldn't climb stairs, and I had to stop going for long walks. The doctors said muscular dystrophy causes the illness. I am in a wheelchair, and I can't stand up without my wife's help. I receive treatment twice a week, hoping that I will not have to spend the rest of my life in a chair. It's an unusual situation for a former striker who used to kick goals or serve his teammates in good health, and although I've become mobility-impaired, my illness doesn't affect my mood. I'm positive although I can't run anymore; I'm optimistic about my recovery. And I want to believe that I can get out of the wheelchair."
