Zyra Gorecki is an up-and-coming Hollywood actress to watch out for. She is the first actress to play a primary character on a network series with a limb difference.

Thèo Curin, a quadruple amputee, has successfully crossed the 122km length of the 3,812-meter-high Lake Titicaca in the Andes in 11 days.

The Gaza Strip has endured four wars between 2008 and 2021. A total of 19,425 have sustained injuries, while 4,179 civilians have passed away. Currently, 536 Gazans have experienced limb loss as a direct result of the conflict with Israel.  

The Chicago White Sox's game on October 3 was anything but ordinary, thanks to Shannon Frandeis, a 27-year-old lower-limb amputee, who caught the home run ball with her prosthetic leg.

Life can change in a split-second. In Chad Fleming's case, his life changed after a wrong turn. Fleming was stationed in Afghanistan in 2001, following the terrorist attack of 9/11. Much of his stay was relatively uneventful and safe, so by the end of his deployment, he developed a sense of invincibility, which is "a bad place to be," Fleming said in his talk at the Minot Air Force Base.
