“I don't let people's criticism hold me back,” Sara said in her contest entry. “I run, weight lift, and do everything a 2-handed person can do, but I strive to do it better! I know that ability is self defined - no one can hold me back except for myself!”

Sara’s success story is one you wouldn’t see in charts and graphs, but it’s the stuff that drives us at LIVESTRONG.COM and Demand Media at large. Her submission reminds us that behind the millions who visit our sites every day are real people empowered by informational content, inherent utility and a thriving community always on hand to encourage, share and support.

Sara’s story is just one of many. See the other winners in the contest who inspire us to work tenaciously toward big goals of our own.
