Kevin Michael Connolly began to love skiing when he was a child. He has skied and won medals in skiing competitions since 1999, and he has traveled all over the world taking photos. He's also written a book about his life--and it has been very successful. But the most unbelievable thing about Kevin is that he doesn't have legs. Kevin hasn't had a terrible accident or been in a disaster. He was born without legs. Kevin's parents helped him to overcome the condition by raising him like any other child. He learned to "walk" using his hands, and he went to school with the other children from his neighborhood. Kevin grew up in Montana. Most Montana kids learn to ski, and Kevin did, too. He used special equipment, and he became a very good skier. He also hiked and camped in the mountains a lot. After he finished high school, he studied Film and Photograph at Montana State University. Later, Kevin returned to his university to give a speech to welcome new students. Now he has his own TV show called Arm & Ready. On the show, Kevin travels to different places and faces different challenges. People love the show because they feel inspired when they see the world through Kevin's eyes. Kevin's excellent journey will change the way they look at others, and the way they see themselves. |
