Handicapped athletes — worth our admiration

Handicapped athletes — worth our admiration

There’s a book and movie out there — “Soul Surfer” — about the life of Bethany Hamilton, the professional surfer who lives in Hawaii, whose left arm was bitten off during a shark attack in 2003. On Halloween, no less. Her story (probably brought to mind thanks to recent shark attacks on the East Coast) got me thinking about other handicapped athletes who have overcome tremendous odds to persevere despite the hand life has dealt them.
