<p> I have been truly honored to know Bethany Hamilton, riding with her and sharing platforms where we witness people's hearts being deeply moved by the inspirational story of Bethany and her faith in God. As a child going and growing through difficulties because of having no limbs since birth, I sincerely understand the importance of a mother's role in one's life through storms that seem too big at times. Cheri Hamilton's testimony and life's lessons will touch and challenge anyone's perspective of life. Furthermore her love for Bethany, her family and above all, God, will ignite a flame of faith and encouragement to all who read. Nick Vujicic Founder, Life without Limbs<br><br><br>

Seeing the love for God, and the love of God, pouring out of them kept us focused on the true reason for producing the film, Soul Surfer. And having the opportunity to have Cheri capture even more of the story in 'Raising a Soul Surfer' helps fill in all the blanks that are left unfilled by a 2 hour movie. <p><br> Rich Peluso<br> Vice President, AFFIRM Films / Sony Pictures Entertainment <p>If you are that worried about sharks, don't surf.

In fact, Don't Look Down seems to be an unspoken motto for the entire Hamilton family. This expression is not a suggestion that they ignore their fears; rather, it is a statement of courage that motivates
