Linda Bannon was born without arms which resulted from a rare hereditary condition called Holt-Oram syndrome, which affects bone growth and can cause heart problems.

The road to success is a long and grueling one, but with much perseverance and belief in yourself, you can actually soar to formidable heights. Just ask these celebrities who made their dreams come true by courageously getting over their rough childhoods and tediously carving their way into the industry.

 

 

Too many times, we give ourselves limitations by coming up with various excuses as to why we are either not ready, or can't possibly reach our goals. Your dreams are only unattainable because you make yourself think so, but in actuality, if you put everything into it, love what you do wholeheartedly and work relentlessly towards your goals, you can achieve things beyond your wildest dreams. Just ask this 9-year-old basketball prodigy who is so good, she has already been approached by Miami University who have asked her to keep them in mind when the time comes for her to make her college choice.

 

 

Sometimes we need to be reminded that there is still good in this world when everything seems really bleak and hopeless.

The evil in this world cannot be entirely wiped out, but there are heroes who step up to the occasion in an attempt to make the world a better place. We would like to thank these everyday heroes from the bottom of our hearts for restoring our faith in humanity.
