A teen with cancer inspires

It all started back in 2006.

Sharon Bina’s husband was a skydiving instructor and she decided to visit the Dallas location when a young man caught her eye.

She noticed he had a prosthetic leg and wanted to know his story.

For reasons she couldn’t explain, she felt drawn to him.

That young man was Seth Darnell, a cancer patient from Azle who decided to skydive for his 18th birthday, along with his friend and mentor, Shannon Hart.

She watched as Darnell excitedly climbed into the aircraft that would take him two miles into the sky.
