Cornel Hrisca-Munn was born in a Romanian orphanage with no forearms and a severely deformed leg. He wasn't even issued a birth certificate. Instead he was taken to an institution and left to die in a room full of other unwanted or disabled babies. He was given little milk or attention, but somehow managed to survive for 9 months before aid worker Doreen Munn took him to England and gave him the intensive medical treatment he needed, which included the amputation of his twisted leg. At age 6, Cornel rode his tricycle 4 miles to raise money for a young Romanian boy with leukaemia whose parents could not afford his treatment. In the following years, Cornel competed in various fundraisers, including bikeathons, swimming races, and poetry competitions, for which he has received countless awards and accolades. Next, he began to teach himself to play the drums and bass guitar. At 14, he defeated 400 other competitors in a national drumming competition. His incredible musical abilities have seen Cornel achieve viral Youtube fame. Does it amaze you to see him play the drums with all his "limitations"?

Luca Patuelli, known as Lazylegz, is a Canadian B-boy dancer and motivational speaker. Luca was born with arthrogryposis, a rare muscle disorder that limits motion in the joints. He has undergone a total of 16 surgeries since the age of 7 months, to support his legs, hips, spine, and shoulders. At 15, he discovered his love for breakdancing, and formed the "ILL-Abilities" crew, a group of dancers who all overcome their physical limitations. He slowly began creating his own unique b-boying style that takes advantage of his upper body strength and uses his crutches as extensions of his arms. He has appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show, So You Think You Can Dance Canada, The Today Show, America's Got Talent, and in 2010 he both headlined and was Segment Director for the Paralympic Opening Ceremony. Alongside his performance career, Luca also co-founded the RAD Movement, an inclusive urban dance program for youth with disabilities. In 2015, the Governor General of Canada recognized Luca and his partners with a Meritorious Service Medal for their commitment to creating a more inclusive society for differently abled people. He lives by the motto "Adapt, stay positive, and learn to do things your own way." Do you agree with this motto?
