Man with amputated forearms, standing on residential street. Caption. Here's my story.

Justin Beauchesne, a young determined man doesn't allow a near-death experience slow him down. When Justin was just a baby, he had suffered amputations on both arms due to a rare blood disease known as meningococcemia. Being enrolled in the Shriners system, Justin had learned how to adapt to his new condition and to make him grow to be the person he is today. Justin is an avid skateboarder that enters in the Extremity Games and stands out in front of other skaters as well as spectators. With high hopes of becoming a professional skateboarder one day, Justin will soon be ruling the skate parks!
