Double-leg amputee scales Mount Kilimanjaro, proving doctors wrong

MONTREAL (AFP) - A double-leg amputee has pulled himself up Africa's highest mountain, disproving doctors who said he would never be a functioning member of society.'

Mr Spencer West, 31, lost his legs as a child after a genetic disorder - sacral agenesis - paralysed the lower half of his body.

But he didn't let that stop him: the resident of the Canadian city of Toronto arrived at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, some 6,000m above sea level, on Tuesday, calling it an incredible personal feat.

'Reaching the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro was the most mentally and physically challenging thing I have ever done, but in doing so, it reinforced the powerful message of believing in yourself, and believing in others,' Mr West told AFP from Nairobi, Kenya.
