via The Straits Times Singapore:

After more than 10 surgeries in three years, Mr Jason Leong was left 
with four fingers on each hand, and had below-knee amputations on 
both legs.  

The 44-year-old had suffered from gangrene, which is the death of body 
tissue due to a lack of blood flow or a serious bacterial infection. It 
commonly affects the arms and legs, including the toes and fingers.  

But the avid sports lover and former physical education (PE) teacher - 
who was in an intensive care unit (ICU) in April 2019 - was determined 
to bounce back.  

Mr Leong, who is currently with a Sport Singapore (SportSG) team to 
help people with disabilities (PWDs) enjoy sports, can jog and squat 
with a 40kg weight. Fitted with prosthetics, he takes part in  
high-intensity training sessions five days a week.
