Scout Bassett aka Zhu Fuzhi is an Asian-American Paralympic track and field athlete. She received severe damage to her legs from a chemical fire when she was an infant. Scout was later adopted by a couple from the U.S. Not letting her injuries rule her life, she started playing soccer at 10, joined the Challenged Athletes Foundation at 14, then on to triathlons, track & field, and competing in the US Paralympic team. You go, girl!
