Baker from city, April 26, 2018

I think the lesson of this billboard is always set a goal for yourself, and don't stop. A young boy Adam Bender- his goal was to play baseball with cancer, and one leg, and he set his goal, and didn't give up. that's why I picked this billboard. I picked this billboard because I read this billboard, and I feel like he makes goals, and don't give up, and thats what I do. I think the message of this billboard is be brave even if you see bullying, and you want to stop.

Adam, Stand Tall; Never Give Up !! I want to shake your hand (were both left-handed) I hope to meet you in the future !! (SO PROUD OF YOU)

Matthew J. Willoughby from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, January 12, 2013

Adam, You are the most driven,outgoing and inspirational boy I know; It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you can do it. I wanted you to know that I was born unable to fully use my right-hand, I use my right-hand to help out with my left-hand; and I have been doing that my whole life. I have watched the youtube videos, that baseball comes out of your left-hand faster than a bullet out of a gun; I'm Proud of You !!! I'll never let anything stop me after seeing you live your life. I want to shake your hand so bad (and were both left-handed) Good Luck with the organization; I would also like to meet you.

Matthew J. Willoughby from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, January 12, 2013

You are so brave and a inspiration!

Liz Holmes from Lawrenceburg KY, November 25, 2012

People like you are angels from above that make every persons' life a little better no matter who they are.

Lexy jesness from Detroit lakes, minnesota, November 5, 2012

Just saw the billboard today with my two children in the back seat. I had the pleasure of telling them how I presented you with the Bo Jackson Courage Award at the Pitch & Hit Club of Chicago's Awards Dinner a few years back. My children learned a valuable lesson today, just as I did at the dinner. Keep it up Adam, you are a true inspiration.

John Sarna from Route 39, Illinois, June 8, 2012

Adam, I saw your picture today and you remind me of me at your age. I was 11 when I lost my leg to bone cancer. I am now 57 and have been cancer free for 46 years, Praise the Lord. I too played baseball,water-skied, basketball,scuba dived and many other sports. I wear a artificial leg all the time and I have worked as a carpenter and a contractor, I climb ladders, and do most all I desire to do (within reason). You have a great life ahead of you, enjoy it with God's help. your fellow AK amputee.

Michael Conrad from Portland, Oregon, May 20, 2012

I thought this is inspiring to all of the kids and adults who are going through the same (or similar) thing as this young man.

Austin from Indiana, March 23, 2012

So touching.

Rae from New York, March 22, 2012

I just saw this billboard today on I-40W in Raleigh, NC. It immediately caught my eye because our daughter (now 2 years old) was born with no right leg and only about 40% of her left arm. When I saw this billboard I was actually on my way to work after meeting with my daughter's physical therapist and prosthetist. What an awesome way to start the day. As with Adam's parents, we've had unending questions of what our daughter will or won't be able to do. I love seeing things like this that keep us looking at the unknowable future with hope and enthusiasm. On a related note, when I was leaving the ultrasound meeting when we first found out about her limb issues 2+ years ago, I heard an interview on the radio about a teen who was going blind and about his triumphs at the Paralympics.

Robert from Raleigh, NC, March 7, 2012

Your cousin Sebastian saw your billboard in California today. He sent me the link on facebook. You are awesome Adam, and such an inspiration to others!

Rachel Hampton from Lexington,Kentucky, February 27, 2012

Pepper from Florida, November 17, 2011

You are a real inspiration for so many people. Especially with swimming, I had many obstacles, but none as drastic like this. Good luck kid!

Maomi Chu from Denton, TX, October 19, 2011

This makes me thing long and hard about the obstacles I've had to face with swimming and it doesn't compare to losing a leg! I hope all goes well for your athletic career.

Maomi Chu from Denton, TX, October 19, 2011

I wish people would find a cure for cancer, but I know that one day we will!

At the age of 65 and facing the reality of dealing with prostate cancer, Adam's billboard caught my attention today, 09-26-11, giving me the inspiration that with God's help, I will also be able to throw a curve ball and Overcome prostate cancer!
