What was supposed to be a day filled with fun and joy turned into a tragic incident for the grad-student at The University of Georgia, Aimee Copeland.
That day in 2012, she and her friends decided to go on a trip to a small lake, where they could zipline over the water. This sounded like a great idea which they all loved the moment they heard it.
Unfortunately, when it was Aimee’s turn to have some fun, the the cable snapped and she fell down a cliff. Sadly, she lost her leg that day.
Aimee was rushed to the hospital, and once there doctors had more horrific news. Aimme contracted a very serious flesh-eating bacteria which infected her wound. It was a matter of hours if she would survive or live.
The bacteria she had is known as Aeromonas hydrophila. This bacteria easily leads to a life-threatening condition known as necrotizing fasciitis, commonly referred to as a flesh-eating disease.
It required 11 surgeries for her life to be saved, but she lost both her hands and legs which needed to be amputated.
However, as brave as she has been, this young woman didn’t let the tragedy stay on her way of living her life to the best of her abilities.
Four years after the incident, Aimee shared a photo of herself at the beach, wearing a bikini and putting a huge smile on her face.
Many found inspiration in the photo and it was soon shared on the social media thousands of times with many saying that Aimee is a true inspiration.
She’s proud of herself and of everything she managed to overcome, and what’s most, she’s proud of her body and the way she looks after the ordeal she had gone through.
“It has taken me a long time to become comfortable with and accept my new body. We are ALL made with imperfections and there is so much beauty in our flaws. The scars and skin grafting build character! It’s not about what you have — what you do with what you have is what really counts,” she wrote in the caption.
Today, Aimee is an advocate for amputee and disability rights, and she continues to inspire others through her public speaking engagements and social media posts. What’s most, she’s pursuing a PhD in psychology at the University of West Georgia.
She is the perfect example that nothing can take our dreams away, not even a tragedy like the one she suffered.

Princess Catherine’s Latest Public Appearance Has Fans Talking About Her “Grown” Hair
Kate Middleton is making waves again, and this time, it’s all about her hair. Despite facing cancer and going through chemo, Kate’s hair looked so healthy that it sparked a frenzy of reactions online. Some were in awe of her strength and beauty, while others were left buzzing with curiosity.
In a deeply moving moment at Windsor Castle on October 2, 2024, Princess Catherine Middleton embraced 16-year-old Liz Hatton, a young photographer fighting a rare and aggressive tumor. It was Catherine’s first public appearance since resuming royal duties, and the image of their hug quickly spread online, sparking an emotional response.
Liz’s short hair, a result of her grueling battle with the disease, stood in contrast to Catherine’s healthy-looking locks—a detail that didn’t go unnoticed. Both women have faced cancer, and this poignant difference between them became a powerful image of resilience and hope. Online platforms were flooded with comments, particularly on Catherine’s hair.
As Princess Catherine Middleton was seen offering support to the young photographer, one comment took a more critical tone, with one person asking, “How did Catherine not lose any hair after chemo?” Another cynically remarked, “How come that all the real cancer patients are without hair on their head and your hair is longer and longer?”
While some comments were probing and critical, others were filled with admiration for her appearance. One fan gushed, “Catherine looks stunning 😍,” while another marveled, “Kate’s hair! Wow!” Some wondered aloud, “Has Kate got extensions? My goodness, her hair has grown.” Another admirer expressed, “Catherine, it’s so great to see you looking so healthy and beautiful ❤️,” and a similar sentiment followed, “Her hair is beautiful, but more than that, I’m just glad to see her out and about❤️”
This appearance, which has sparked a range of reactions, is a rare one for Catherine, as she has largely remained out of the public eye this year. The Palace previously mentioned that it is still uncertain whether the princess is cancer-free, even after completing chemotherapy.
This isn’t the first time comments like “How come she still has her hair?” have surfaced regarding Princess Catherine’s public appearances. In her first outing in months, many were astonished by her hair.
