    this is such an insporational story, We watched the movie ‘soul surfer’ at school in religion as part of our education and i think that it is an amazing story. We should all be like bethany in life.

      Hi Nina, I wish I got shown movies like Soul Surfer in my R.E. classes. And I agree, I think Bethany is an inspiration for everyone.

      Hi Lilli, I haven’t seen the movie but I recommend her documentary ‘Unstoppable’.

      I’ll have to watch it and update this post soon. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
