THIS INSPIRATIONAL father is proving that life really has no limits – despite missing parts of both his arms AND legs.
Ryan Hudson-Peralta was born with Congenital Limb Deficiency, a rare condition that gave him severely shortened legs and arms without hands.
The now 3ft 6”, 40-year-old describes himself as a loving father, husband, motivational speaker and positive mentor to others – and he has definitely been living up to his word.
Ryan still manages to drive a car by himself, make his way up and down the stairs, use his mobile phone AND conduct his full time job of being a successful user-interface designer at Rocket Mortgage in Detroit, MI.
Residing in Michigan, Ryan even takes it upon himself to visit and help other families across the States who have children living with similar conditions.
Ryan’s parents were made aware of their son’s condition immediately after he was born.
In addition to Ryan’s upbeat and positive outlook on life, he has always been surrounded by a strong family support system.
Due to Ryan’s physical appearance, he admits that certain members of the public can’t help but ask him questions when out and about.
He told Barcroft TV: “The hardest thing about living with no arms and legs, is that people see me without arms and legs.” Ryan is now actively helping other families across the States who have children living with similar conditions to him – to help them deal with people staring and how to make the best of their situation.
And Ryan is now looking forward to the future, continuing to spread his positive energy and raise awareness to others.
