Since losing her arm, Bethany has chosen to use her experience to become an inspiration and help others to overcome adversity, no matter how great. 'People I don't even know come up to me. I guess they see me as a symbol of courage and inspiration. One thing hasn't changed---and that's how I feel when I'm riding a wave.'

Her story has been told in dozens of newspapers, magazines, news shows, talk shows, commercials, reality shows, and more.
