Channel 9 showed this incredible documentary quite some time ago, about Brett Nielsen, Australia's first Thalidomide baby who was born with no arms. It was titled  'Brett: A life with no arms".

It was perhaps the opening scene where Brett is on his way to the supermarket, driving his 2 door Mercedes sports car with his feet (toes on steering wheel) that caught my attention.

After the first 10min I was in awe.

We read this story and had another Kleenex moment, coupled with laugh out loud incredulity! What an incredible story.

Do you have an animal story to share with us? Please send it to us.

We were enjoying our first major family holiday adventure in Thailand when tragedy struck. My wife, Sam, fell off a two-storey balcony after the faulty steel and timber safety fence collapsed behind her. In that single moment our whole world came crashing down.
