Pro surfer Bethany Hamilton is coming to the Jersey Shore to share her story of overcoming adversity.

At just 13 years old, Hamilton was attacked by a tiger shark off Kauai, Hawaii. Despite losing over 60% of her blood, she was back on a surfboard just one month later. Her story was made into the movie Soul Surfer, and she's been touring as a motivational speaker ever since.

On Saturday October 15th, Jersey Shore United will present the "Day Of Hope" at the Ocean Grove Auditorium. Tickets are still available for event, including the chance to have a VIP lunch and photo op with Bethany.

100% of the proceeds go to Jersey Shore United,  a non-profit organization assisting families affected by natural and personal disasters and tragedies on the Jersey Shore.
