Inspiring & Awesome

For anyone who was born with a disability, this book will inspire you to never give up on your dreams. For anyone else, this book reminds you that those of us with physical limitations do not always live up to lowered expectations. It is truly amazing what the people in this book have accomplished, especially considering the physical problems they have overcome. My favorite section was the personal profiles of the athletes with their photos and accomplishments. The people in this book are truly leaders in paving the way in changing what makes someone successful - persistence and determination.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is inspiring and heart warming. It brings hope for those who are recently disabled and are trying to come to terms with their disability. The photos are amazing in their colours and in the stories they tell without words.
