Why won't you follow me!?

I'm so sorry if I don't follow you. I only follow Bethany Hamilton FAN CLUBS just saying you like Bethany does not make you a fan club. I also occasionally follow some Alana or AnnaSophia Robb fan accounts. As you can see I follow less than 40 people.

Sorry! I do read EVERY message you guys send me, even if I don't reply.
Thanks for all the support.

Who is Bethany Hamilton?

On October 31 2003, Hamilton went for a morning surf along Tunnels Beach, Kauai with friend Alana Blanchard, Alana's father, Holt and brother, Byron. Around 7:30 a.m, she was lying sideways on her surfboard with her left arm dangling in the water when a 14ft tiger shark attacked her, ripping her left arm off just below the shoulder. If the shark had bitten two inches further in, the attack would of been fatal. Hamilton had lost almost 60% of her blood that morning. Her friends helped paddle her back to shore, and fashioned a tournniquet out of a surfboard leash around what was left of her arm before rushing her to Wilcox Memorial Hospital. Her dad was supposed to have knee surgery that morning but she took his place in the operating room. She then spent six more days in recovert at the hospital.

Despite the trauma of the incident, Hamilton was determined to return to surfing. Just three weeks after the incident, she returned to her board and went surfing again. Initally, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker which made it easier to paddle. She has observed that she has to kick a lot more to make up for the loss of her left arm. After teaching herself to surf with one arm, she began surfing competitively. She is now back to using competitive performance short-boards again.
