4. ?Nick Vujicic was born with
no arms or legs
?The brave 26-year-old
plays football ,golf, swims
and surfs, despite having no
limbs.
?Nick has a small foot on his
left hip which helps him
balance and enables him to
kick.
6. ?He uses his one foot to type, write with a
pen and pick things up between his toes.
Water sports aren't Nick's only thing - he
also plays golf with a club tucked under
his chin, and is a huge fan of the English
Premier League.
?His parents decided not to send him to a
special school - a decision he said was
very hard for him, but which may have
been the best decision they could have
made for him. His disability came without
any medical explanation - a rare
occurrence called Phocomelia
7. ?Nick and his parents spent many years
asking why this cruel trick would
happen to them. Nick, who was teased
and bullied, had an electric wheelchair
for mobility, and a team of careers to
help him.
?At age ten Nick tried to drown himself
in the bath but luckily the attempt was
unsuccessful But with the help of his
religion, friends and family, Nick
managed to pull through to become an
international symbol of triumph over
adversity.
9. ?Nick began travelling the world
and in 2008 he went to Hawaii
and met surfing master Bethany
Hamilton, who had her arm bitten
off by a shark when he was 12.
?She taught him how to surf and he
was terrified at first, but once he
got up there it felt absolutely
fantastic and he caught some
waves pretty well.'
10. ?Nick quickly learned how to do
the 360 degree spins on his
board - a feat that got him on
the cover of Surfer magazine
within 48 hours.
?'No one has ever done that in
the history of surfing,' he said.'
But I have a very low centre of
gravity so I've got pretty good
balance.
12. ?He has visited different countries
all over the world. The football fan
is now a motivational speaker and
has travelled to over 24 countries
speaking to groups of up to
110,000 people.
?He moved to Los Angeles two
years ago and plans to continue to
travel the world – this year he will
visit South America and the
Middle East.
