Spencer West

Spencer West: Spencer West lost his legs when he was five years old because of a rare genetic disease, according to CBC. "I was like, look, you're crazy. Remember, standing on my hands, I'm two foot seven inches tall. I'm pretty sure that's a snack to half the animals in Kenya, and I don't want to be meals on wheels, thank you." A man who climbed Africa's tallest mountain delivered a down-to-earth message in St. John's Wednesday about overcoming disabilities. He has done a lot of climbing over the years but rejected the idea of going to Africa at first. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
