Bethany Hamilton
On October 31st 2003, Bethany Hamilton went surfing at a beach in Hawaii.
The weather was perfect, but suddenly some sharks appeared.
There were other people in the water nearby but they couldn't help her.
A shark attacked her and bit off her left arm.
Did Bethany stop surfing? Not at all! A month after leaving hospital, thirteen year old
Bethany was in the sea again because she was determined to surf.
Now Bethany surfs for the USA National Team and she also collects money
to help disabled children all around the world.
