After a recent spate of shark attacks, which left two people dead and one teen without a leg, "Soul Surfer" Bethany Hamilton has advice for those victims who have been forced to find a new normal. She was thrust into the international spotlight when a tiger shark bit her while she was surfing off Hawaii in 2003. Hamilton told InsideEdition.com that she wants these recent shark attack victims to know there is hope in their hardship. They can look at my life and just see that there's hope beyond their situation," she said. It isnt something like, Oh, how tragic, a 17-year-old lost a leg. No, a 17-year-old lost a leg and we are still poppin, she said.
