In Ghana, West Africa, the disabled are cast out of society or hidden away and expected to beg on the streets for the duration of their lives. Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah is a young man who was born with a severely deformed leg who set out to change the perception of being “disabled.” Against incredible odds Emmanuel rode a bike donated by the Challenged Athletes Foundation across Ghana to demonstrate the valuable contributions that the disabled can make to society.
