BETHANY HAMILTON

BIOBethany has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith and hope. During a surf session on Halloween morning 2003, Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark, which bit off her left arm and seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. Her unbelievably positive attitude began to fascinate the world. Miraculously, just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water and just over a year later she won her first National title.

MEDIAIn 2007, Bethany realized her dream of surfing professionally and since then her story has been told in an autobiography and in the 2011 film, Soul Surfer. Bethany, along with her family, launched their own faith-based foundation, Friends of Bethany, which supports shark attack survivors, traumatic amputees, and serves to inspire others through her life story. Bethany focuses on sharing her message of triumph and trust in God while splitting her time traveling the globe between contests, appearances and motivational speeches.
