Aimee Mullins and her 12 pairs of legs



(Click here if you can't see the video)

Aimee Mullins is an American athlete, actress, and fashion model best known for her collegiate-level athletic accomplishments. She was actually born without fibula bones and as a result, had both her legs amputated below the knee when she was a year old. This disability however did not prevent her from becoming an outstanding athlete. She competed against able-bodied athletes in track and field events and set records in Paralympic in 1996. She went on to become a fashion model and an actress. In 1999, she was named "The 50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People Magazine.

Get inspired by Aimee Mullins in this video.
She proofs that handicap is only a state of the mind.
We can all do what we want when we believe in it enough.
