Man Without Legs, Spencer West, Summits Mount Kilimanjaro And Raises Half A Million Dollars For Charity

Born with a rare genetic spinal disorder called sacral agenesis, Spencer West's legs were amputated when he was just five. Doctors told his parents that he "would never do much with his life." http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HaLqwtcx_I0/T-QHehYdW1I/AAAAAAAAOBY/qilaHlbyyiA/s1600/original.jpg “It was bittersweet and incredible to finally make it after all the hardships we went through to get there,”

West, who was accompanied by his two best friends, told the Toronto Star. “I would say it was..
humbling, beautifully overwhelming.”
West's climb was also part of his fundraising campaign for Free the Children's sustainable water initiative in Kenya. West told CTV that they have already raised $500,000 of their $750,000 goal.
