5 Inspiring stories you should know about

Five inspiring stories I’ve featured on both here and my other blog (and some from a friend’s) that you might have missed.

The woman who touched the world  

Joni Ericson Tada - the quadriplegic woman who rose above the tragedy that rendered her paralyzed for life. She can only move her head but she’s starred in a  movie, she paints, has her own albums and married.

Nick Vujicic – Get back up
The incredible story (with a video) of a man born without limbs. This will make you cry and truly inspire you. After seeing this, you'll realize how blessed you are.

The blind who led the blind
Ann  Sullian – the woman behind Helen Keller. Ann too suffered from a sight disability nevertheless, under her tutelage, she mentored one of the most amazing and remembered woman in history.
Wheelchair Bodybuilding: Rich Knapp
A competitive bodybuilder in a wheelchair. Read his story and be motivated!

Graduate speech to remember Eric Duquette
Diagnosed with autism and learned to talk only when he was five but graduated Salutatorian in his high school class.

Check them out and if these stories do not touch and encourage you at all, I don’t know what else would.
