From Losing Sight to
Finding Purpose
Born in Kuwait and later adopted by a Sri Lankan family, Khalid Oshman's life was shaped early by values of service, determination, and excellence. That foundation would be tested in ways few people ever face.
At the age of 26, Khalid lost his eyesight due to medical negligence — an experience that required rebuilding life from the ground up. A suicide survivor, his life has been shaped by multiple second chances, and that journey has since been transformed into one of strength and purpose.
"Today, the focus remains on inspiring and empowering others to overcome limitations, push boundaries, and strive toward becoming the best version of themselves."
Through endurance sports and personal storytelling, Khalid actively promotes resilience, mental strength, and perseverance — becoming the first visually impaired individual from Sri Lanka to compete in five IRONMAN 70.3 events and complete marathons in Paris, Singapore, Japan, Jordan, and Sri Lanka.
