Spencer West was born with a genetic disease that led to the amputation of both legs by the age of five. Doctors said he'd never be a functioning member of society. He has long since proven them wrong. With the support of his strong family and dogged determination, West has become a remarkable citizen and motivational speaker. And now he's redefined possible: he has climbed to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, raising $500,000 for clean water programs in East Africa through Free the Children, a global youth education charity.
