Top 5 Heroes with no Legs. These people are all heroes because of their determination. They all have to life without legs but they do not let that hold them back!
5. Xu Yuehua
55-year-old Xu Yuehua, who lost her legs in a train accident at the age of 13, has spent 37 years raising children in a social welfare institute. She has brought up more than 130 children! She moves without legs by using stools; she spends her days on a pair of small stools, so the children call her "Stool Mama".
4. Vinod Thakur
A legless hip-hop dancer appearing on 'India's got talent' in 2010 has become a rage with his swift dance moves and acrobatic skills. 25-year-old Vinod Thakur shot to fame after performing on the television show and is still very popular in India today.
3. Lance Benson
Lance Benson is 36 years old and was born with no legs. Yet he doesn't let that stop him. He competes in sporting events by sitting atop a skateboard and using his hands to propel himself. He blazed through the 2005 ING New York City Marathon in just 3 hours and 37 minutes and still regularly competes in marathons.
2. Qian Hongyan
Qian Hongyan, who was forced to use half a basketball as her prosthetic body, inspired millions with her ambition to compete as a swimmer in the 2012 Paralympics in London. Qian's family was unable to afford modern prosthetics when she lost her legs in a car accident, and instead she used a basketball to get around on. Qian now has a pair of proper prosthetic legs, but still says she likes to use the basketball from time to time as it is easier for her to get in and out of the pool.
1. Bobby Martin
Bobby Martin was born without legs and played football for his high school varsity team. He uses his arms to run. More recently, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel invited Martin to a practice. Martin ended up getting involved in some of the action when he saw Dennis Northcutt evade player after player. Martin approached Northcutt and claimed that he could tackle him. Northcutt accepted the challenge and Martin hung with Northcutt for 20 yards before forcing him out at the one-yard line!
