Go any of us... indeed.

I'm surprised they don't go ahead and fit her for some hook clamp arms.

Not that she needs them. :-)

People like this are a true inspiration to adaptability.

Absolutely.

And agreed with Freides. WAY cool.

Maury Povich showcased a young woman who, iirc, was born without arms.
Amazing if incredibly sad from my "armed" perspective. And, while
browsing Barnes and Noble, I've often seen the book about the wrestler
who was also born without all his limbs.

Googling, I found an episode of Maury Povich's show broadcast March
31, 2004, so it's not the same show I was thinking of, but the summary
offers, "Annie, 11, is just like other kids her age, except she was
born without arms and legs. She rolled out on stage and told Maury
that she tries to do everything, including skateboarding. Maury gave
Annie a new board and a bike. Annie told Maury she'd learn how to ride
the bike."

At first glance, I thought, 'a bike?' but there are certainly modified
bicycles for children with disabilities (
http://www.abledata.com/abledata.cfm...9327&top=12717
aka http://tinyurl.com/343dqp ).

The wrestler is easily Googled as well as an amazing story.

I got almost teary when I saw her threading needles and doing embroidery
with her toes. That's just freakin' amazing.

Wish they had pics there!

Tried googling, no pics easily found?

Okay, so my googling skills are not the best.

Interesting that these types of problems seem to be asian?

Agreed. Absolutely!

The local paper had a story of a child with multiple disabilities. Her
nurse organized a fund drive to purchase a bicycle she would be able
to use. And, although it cost some $3000, they got the bike for her.
Lots of generosity there.

I can help!

And, hey, check this one out:

Arnold is everywhere?

(Pssst, Om! WHAT was your search string? Because, uh,
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=kyle+maynard aka http://tinyurl.com/2jlw6q
worked pretty well for me.)

I hadn't noticed, but certainly there are some groups that suffer
specific problems more than other groups. Sickle-cell as one example.
Maple syrup urine disease as another.

My agency works exclusively with people who have severe handicaps. What
interests me about these guys is that they are always cheerful. They are
all happy to be alive and doing something that for us, would be trivial.

Frex, I did some stunting in a wheelchair for some guys who are REALLY
always in a wheelchair due to CP. They laughed (OK, hooted) and had a
great time like I was a Circ de Soliel gymnast performer. If I could
bring that much happiness to conventional folks, I'd be a highly paid
entertainer.

Strange, eh?

I just did a simple search for Kyle Maynard.
Googling is an art that I'm still learning. ;-)
