But then a visit from Mike Coots would change everything. In the hospital, Bethany was a pillar of strength to those around her, telling her family and friends, ‘it’s going to be ok’ with a brave smile plastered across her face between a few moments when you see a young girl trying to come to terms with what’s just happened. It was nothing short of a miracle she survived. Alana’s father, Holt, saved her life by getting her ashore and tying a tourniquet around her wound to stop the bleeding. After a terrible incident on the morning of Halloween 2003 while surfing with her best friend, Alana Blanchard, Bethany lost her left arm to a tiger shark attack off the coast of Kauai at a break called ‘Tunnels’. The story of Bethany Hamilton is one well told and documented in her autobiography and the subsequent film adaptation, Soul Surfer.
