If you don't know who Bethany is, she shared her life story in the movie Soul Surfer. Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of faith, determination, and hope. On October 31, 2003, Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark. The attack left Bethany with a severed left arm. After losing over 60% of her blood, and making it through several surgeries without infection, Bethany was on her way to recovery with an unbelievably positive attitude, "When can I surf again?" the 13-year-old asked after her emergency surgery. She returned almost immediately, and began to spread the word of her story, in hopes of helping others overcoming obstacles put in front of them. Lifeguards and doctors believe her strong water sense and faith in God helped get her through the traumatic ordeal. Miraculously, just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water to continue pursuing her goal to become a professional surfer.
"When we are weak, God will shine his strength through us." BETHANY HAMILTON
Bethany's strong faith in God is what healed her and continued her courage to keep moving forward. God has a plan for all of us and this was his plan for Bethany. For her, to encourage thousands of people all around the world with her story. To give them the courage and the ambition to follow their dreams.
aloha nui loa "very much love" Bethany, Keep on surfin' girl!
