Nicholas James “Nick” Vujicic, is a Serbian motivational speaker, born the 4th of December 1982 in Australia, with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs.
He has no arms, nor legs, and as a child, he struggled not only physically, but also, and above all, mentally and emotionally, attempting suicide at the age of 10.
However, he claimed he found in love, hope and faith the strength to overcome the difficulties he had to go through on a daily basis, and, at the age of seventeen, he started his own non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. Subsequently, he became a motivational speaker, having reached over three million people in more than 24 countries all over the world.
He speaks to corporate audiences, congregations, and above all in schools, being one of his primary focus, teen problems. He says that he keeps a pair of shoes in his closet due to his belief in miracles. In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the Young Australian of the Year Award.
The life story of Nick becomes even more amazing when it comes to love. Nick was convinced that he would have never got married, because none would have wanted to spend the life with him. However, in 2008, at the age of 26, he met his soul mate, Kanae Miyahara and they fell in love at the first sight.
Before Kanae met Nick, she dated other guys for the physical aspect, but “the moment I met Nick, I was looking for other thing, and all the things I found in him…” Kanae said in an interview, “…he might not be perfect on the outside, but he is the perfect match for me.” Nick said: “It was electric, when she stood by me, it just felt right.”

Nick and Kanae got married on the 12th of February 2012, and just one year later, on the 13th of February 2013, their son Kiyoshi James Vujicic was born. Nick wrote on his Facebook page, writing, “Dream come true. Holding my Baby Boy Kiyoshi.
They currently live as an happy family in Los Angeles, California.
