In the video, you can see a 35-year old man walking and playing. His name is Kenny Easterday who has only half a body. He is severely handicapped, yet he is able to use his hands to walk.
Kenny Easterday was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Dec 7, 1973 and he now lives in West Virginia. As a baby, he suffered a congenital deformity of the sacral area, a very unusual disorder called sacral agenesis.
At the age of six months, Easterday had his legs amputated and doctors used part of his bones to fix his spine. He was not expected to live more than 21 years.
Easterday can not only walk on his hands, but also can do many other things.
Easterday lives with his fiancee named Nicky. His biggest dream is to have a child.
" I want a child to carry my name, someone that can carru my legacy and be able to say 'Well that's my daddy'," he said.
Nicky has a 7-year old daughter and the couple will discover if he is the father of the child. Nicky said they were together seven years ago and she got pregnant.
"Kenny will be the focus of a special on TLC titled "The Man with Half a Body". On the show, Kenny will find out if he is the father of one of the 2 children of his fiance. The show is set to air at 8:00 PM EDT (7:00 PM CDT) on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010," wikipedia states.
