Gabriella Oliva - Bethany,

You are truly an inspiring person, and Soul Surfer inspired me. Now, I want to surf sooooooo badly, even though I don’t have a board. I even wrote a project on you and your passion for surfing. I REALLY want to meet you one day, and also one day I want to get a surfboard by Rip Curl. I live in PA, so i don’t have a very good access to Rip Curl. I’m only in 6th grade, so i really can’t do anything about it, either. But, if i do get a board, I want to become just like you, Bethany. Best wishes to you, Bethany!!!!!!

Jenna Yates - Bethany! I just wanted to tell you, you are so inspirational! For you to continue what you enjoy and love even though tragedy struck, you kept going and that’s so awesome. I watch the movie, Soul Surfer every day to keep my hopes high and to let me know that if Bethany can fight through all of that, i can with stand anything that happens in my small town life. You’re such an inspiration and you’re so strong. Thank you for being who you are and never losing faith. ♥

Kenneth pace - Hey Bethany
I saw soul surfer and it really made me think about how I live my life and the way I treat people. I have seen the movie twice and both times it has really inspired me to live my life to the fullest no matter what happens. Thank you for your courage. I love you as my sister in Christ.

Sincerely,
Kenneth

Emily Gardner - Bethany Hamilton,
You are very inspirational, and Soul Surfer made me cry my eyes out. My grandpa is completely blind, and he is a musician. I have only met him when I was 15 months old; however, it reminds me of you in the way that both of you are pushing for your dreams. Thank you for not giving up, because you are truly a living miracle that I am thankful for every day. Thank you for everything you have done, especially for the Friends of Bethany. You have given me so much to look forward to.

Love,
Emily<3

Dawn Hurtt - I have a 3yr. old son who was born with no arms. We also have a friend who is 12 yrs old who was born with no arms and no legs. We have all met Nick V. and would love to connect with you if possible. My young friends mom and I will be in Kona September 8th-15th. I don’t know any other way to get ahold of you to connect. If you get this, please get ahold of me. Thanks
