If you haven’t heard of Bethany Hamilton or Soul Surfer than
you’re not only missing out on a great movie and book duo but also an
unforgettable story. Bethany was an avid surfer from a young age and a top
competitor in her hometown in Hawaii until one tragic day. During a daily surf
with her friend and her friend’s family. Bethany was attacked by a tiger shark.
Bethany’s life was turned upside down from the event, she lost her left arm but
was lucky to not have lost her life. Instead of quitting surfing, Bethany was
determined to pursue her goals and aspirations. Despite the frustration of
struggling with simple tasks such as paddling,
Bethany proved everyone wrong
and went on to become a professional Surfer! She has since competed and
excelled in numerous National and International competitions and has become an
inspiration to girls all over the world. Bethany is a role model in AND out of
the water, she has her own charity, Friends of Bethany to support amputees and victims
of shark attacks and inspire and give hope to others through her amazing story.
This girl doesn’t let anything stop her!
