He's a world record holding sprinter from South Africa. She's a spunky 5-year-old from Essex, England.

Oscar "Blade runner" Pistorious 25, was just 11 months old when doctors discovered he had no fibulas, requiring below-the-knee amputations of both his legs. Ellie May Challis lost both her hands and legs at 16 months, after contracting a severe case of meningitis.
