Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
THIS BRAVE fitness enthusiast has found his happiness - despite living with two rare bone diseases. 22-year-old Christopher Hebert, otherwise known as CJ, was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) and Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE. PFFD resulted in CJ missing his right femur bone, whilst MHE has caused painful bone tumours all over his body. CJ, from Kansas, USA, decided to have a Rotationplasty surgery where doctors amputated his right leg but re-attached it so that his foot could act as a mobilised knee-joint within a prosthetic. This has enabled CJ to lead a more -normal- and -active- life - he now thanks fitness and his fianc-e, MacKenzi Eisenbraun, for saving him.

Dear Christopher, your will power and positive thinking will help you overcoming your disease, and with the years to come you WILL learn to handle your prosthetic leg better and better. Maybe, in the nearer or farer future, you might get the removed middle section of your leg implanted again. Never give up hope.

Whelp, I went the other way. hated myself for being disabled. Socially isolated and poor. This fellow travelled the globe, does insane fitness goals and is married by now I-m sure.
Yeah I just don-t think I-d ever of had his drive.

As someone who couldn't use her right leg almost for four months, I am amazed by what this guy is doing! This is awesome! I hope for him, that he will never need any surgery again. Surgeries sucks!
