I’d like to introduce you to Dustin Carter. He’s a Junior at Hillsboro High School in Cincinnati. His goal? To make the state finals in wrestling.
So what?
When Dustin was five years old, both of his legs and arms were amputated to save him from a rare blood infection.
This video is a bit long, but trust me, you’ll be blown away. For reference, even after thirty years of weight lifting, I cannot do many of the exercises he’s doing.

Wonderful Kelly – We all make excuses and feel sorry for ourselves – I do it too. But this kind of inspiration helps keep us moving.
Christy – He is incredible – he must also have an incredible family to help support him and keep him moving. Very cool!
I come from The Land Of High School Wrestling (Iowa).
I saw a kid once with one arm kick ASS at the state tournament and another kid with no legs. It was amazing.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Where do you get these things? Nevermind, doesn’t matter. I know I can always come here for an uplifting, inspiration post!
All power to him and I pity his opponents. Amazing.
Miss Britt – Yes, Iowa is the land of beef fed wrestlers. Amazing to see anyone wrestle let alone without arms and legs
Squirrelly – I pity his opponents as well.
That was truly amazing. I have spent my fair share of time at wrestling matches, I have never see anything like that!
Thanks for sharing this. He is inspirational.
