In 2001, Cameron Clapp was a typical 15 year old from California. Then, one night, he was hit by a train. Cameron doesn’t remember the accident, but he’ll never forget waking up in the emergency room.
His injuries were extensive. The surgeons had to amputate one of his arms and both of his legs. At first, the doctors said Cameron might not live, but Cameron survived. Then, they told his parents that their son probably wouldn’t be able to walk again, but Cameron was determined to show them that they were wrong.
Cameron left the hospital after three weeks, and months later he was given his first simple artificial legs. In the beginning, he was in terrible pain when he tried to use his new legs. Cameron found that swimming helped him with the pain. Later, he had to learn to walk and then to run. If he fell down, he would get up again. Before the accident, Cameron had loved sport, so as soon as he could, he started working out regularly, so he could get in shape again. His determination helped him and he eventually became as active as he was before the accident.
Today, Cameron has got special computer-controlled legs that use very advanced technology. He runs, swims and plays golf using different artificial legs for each sport. He has also won many gold medals at the Endeavour Games, a US competition for athletes with special physical problems like his.
Cameron’s life has changed since the accident. Cameron feels that fighting for what he wants has made him both a stronger athlete and a better person. Because people are interested in his story, Cameron has also been on television and he has travelled to many places. In addition, he works with other people who have lost their arms or legs. He understands their difficulties. He’s an inspiration to them and he helps them see that they needn’t let their injuries prevent them from achieving their goals. Cameron said, “Impossible is an opinion, not a fact” – and he ought to know.
