The Man with Half a Body - Kevin Easterday

35-year-old Kevin Easterday was born with a rare condition that prevented his spine from developing correctly. His legs were amputated, when he was only a baby, but that hasnt stopped him from living life to the fullest.

A strange illness, known as sacral agenesis, made it necessary for doctors to amputate Kennys legs, when he was only six months old. Part of his shinbone was used to create the missing part of his spine, but Kenny lost the ability to walk. Believe it or not, Mr. Eastearday was able to live a rich happy life, regardless of his handicap.



During a documentary, Kennys father reveals he taught his son to walk using his hands, by telling him to imitate his mother, who walks like a duck�. As a child, he was offered a pair of prosthetic legs, but he didnt really find them very useful, so he always used his hands, or a skateboard, to get around.

Although he wasnt expected to reach the age of 21, Kenny not only beat the odds, but enjoyed life, in the process. He learned to play pool, bowl, work, and even make love to his fiancee,Nicky. To top things off, the happy couple is waiting for confirmation that Desiree, their 7-year-old daughter, is actually Kennys daughter.
