Fall In Love With Yourself is an inspiring story about disabled international athletes. Follow the story of men, women and children as they take the obstacles in their life and overcome them to turn their tragedy into triumph.
What would you do if you lost your leg in a tragic accident? Run a marathon? Dick Traum, the first amputee to participate in a marathon, created Achilles International and has helped thousands of people from around the world, will be featured. When he lost his leg, he looked to finding a strength and love from within. Now, he shares his story, his journey, and his legacy.
What would you do if you were diagnosed with Cancer or Muscular Dystrophy? Climb Mount Kilimanjaro? Muscular Dystrophy may have taken control of her body, but not her spirit. Outdoor Bound Adventures has donated the trip to Suzanne Marie. Follow her on her journey in 3D!
