BETHANY HAMILTONIt’s been amazing to touch people’s lives.

BETHANY HAMILTONLike, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don’t do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.
BETHANY HAMILTONI gave my heart to Jesus when I was five-years-old and since then it’s been a special relationship. To me it’s not a religion; it’s just talking to God, reading his word, and doing my best to honor him in everything I do.
BETHANY HAMILTONCourage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.
BETHANY HAMILTONBesides surfing, I play tennis, volleyball, I swim, I run hills, or I do high-intensity, high-interval workouts. I’m up at 5 A.M. every day.

BETHANY HAMILTONLove is bigger than any tidal wave or fear.
