When Sarah Almagro was 18 she suffered meningococcal meningitis and 
surgeons had to amputate both her hands and feet. Her dreams of 
becoming a surfer appeared to be dashed.  

But only three years later, she took part in the World Para Surfing 
Championships in the United States and finished second.  

"I had four prosthesis and a silver around my neck. It is something 
that I would never have imagined after everything that happened. 
People should never throw in the towel," she told Reuters.
