They Call Him Crutch

They Call Him Crutch
Like one in every 1200 children, Bill Shannnon has a bilateral hip deformity -- his hips aren't round, and putting pressure on them creates swelling. Since the age of five, he's been using crutches, and by now, he considers them be an extension of his body. Instead of feeling handicapped, Shannon has turned walking on crutches into an art form! In this video, watch Bill take it to the street, dance, skate and more -- all to challenge images of disability through performance art. On the streets, they call him Crutch.

Be the Change

Next time you feel insecure about a challenge, try elevating your situation into an art form.
