Stories of Resilience: Ahmed Kelly

Ahmed Kelly representing Australia at the Paralympics 2012

This is the story of Ahmed Kelly who was born in Irak with severely underdeveloped arms and legs and, along with his brother, was found in a shoebox outside an orphanage in Baghdad. Read his life story and what he has achieved here. This is a true story of resilience, and it makes everything you worry about so irrelevant, doesn't it? He's a real inspiration.
