There is an average of 20-30 shark attacks per a year, and somehow Bethany Hamilton was one of the unluckier ones to be apart of those attacks. Bethany was encouraged by her family and God yet she struggled through many difficulties in life. After this tragic attack she uses her accomplishments to inspire faith and hope to be able to surf again.
Bethany was born in Hawaii and raised in a surfing family. She began competitive surfing at a young age. At the age of nine she had earned her first sponsorship. In 2003 Bethany had won both her age groups surfing competitions. She had many achievements in surfing but that abruptly changed when she turned 13.
One morning Bethany went out surfing with friends,where unfortunately she was the victim
