Girl Travels Via Basketball

Neatorama provides us with this amazing story of a young Chinese girl, Qian Hongyan, who lost both her legs in an accident at only three years old.

Hongyan's family wasn't wealth enough to provide her with hi-tech equipment to help her walk, so they placed her on a basketball. Hongyan used brushes as low-level crutches.

She was successful able to travel to and from home and school via bouncing on the basketball.

Five years later, doctors have finally been able to give her prosthetic legs.

This is truly an inspirational story of how you should not give up hope.
