Born with a genetic disease that caused the muscles in his legs not to work, Spencer West had both legs amputated just below his pelvis at the age of 5. He found his calling as a motivational speaker, and now speaks candidly to teens about overcoming stereotyping and bullying, about finding meaning and happiness in a material world, and how he never lost the hope or courage needed to mount personal obstacles. Spencer now works with Me to We Speakers and lives in Toronto.
