Hi there. My brother in law was born without an arm from the elbow down, which is caused by a cord accident that prevented the rest of arm from forming. He has no other problems and is today an accomplished athelete who tours and has sponsors and competes and wins in both physcially challenged as well as elite triatholon competitions against athletes with no handicaps. He puts the rest of us in the family to shame! Even when he was a small boy, he was an outstanding athlete — a swimnmer and ballplayer back then, and one of the most popular kids around. He is also extremely successful professionally.
