Born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, a rare congenital condition that left him without a right femur, Lahna uses a prosthetic leg to tackle athletic achievements as a world-class triathlete. <\/p>\n<p>His latest achievement is the most impressive yet \u2014 a 3,300-mile cross-country triathlon. It started June 13 in New York with a 28.5-mile swim around Manhattan Island. He then cycled 3,000 miles from New York to Las Vegas. <\/p>\n<p>The one-man triathlon finished with a 300-mile run through scorching temperatures from Las Vegas to Venice Beach, California. <\/p>\n<p>Lhana embarked on the grueling journey to raise money for the non-profits Challenged Athletes Foundation and Save the Children. He hopes to raise at least $250,000. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/givestar.io\/gs\/250-triathlon-across-america\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">You can find more details here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A three-time Paralympian hoping to compete in the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles just completed a historic triathlon&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,37734],"class_list":["post-420134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-paralympics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
