Overcoming Adversity

Physical disabilities and battling disease cannot keep these people down. Whether they are a triple amputee marine, a young female rapper with Lupus, a special needs olympian, children and adults with cancer, or a girl recovering from a brain injury, these survivors have one thing in common, the will to live and be happy. This HooplaHa series also shares the inspiring stories of those who strive to break the cycle of poverty. You will also meet animals, such as tigers, cows, rabbits and dogs who are living full lives in spite of disabilities and near death experiences.
