Nathalie du Toit- Bethany Hamilton

This week we are going to read about these two amazing women. They both lost a limb and they made an effort to continue with their lives as they had been before. Have you ever thought of how you would cope if you had a disability. Do you know anyone who has gone through a similar experience and has succeeded? Here you have the links to Nathalie's and Bethany's webpage and also to two videos talking about their lives.

Now you can write comments giving your opinion about both stories or telling the story of a similar case you've come across.
