Ezra French Dominates Despite Disability
When Ezra French was born he was missing four fingers on his left hand and his left leg was not fully developed. When he was still a toddler he had the partial part of his leg amputated in order to give him more mobility. He was fitted with a prosthetic and began to excel at athletics. Now, 11-year-old Ezra plays many sports including basketball, soccer, football, track and field and even skateboards. Not only is he involved in athletics but he’s very talented and has even set seven national records. Sports Illustrated named him one of their “Sportskids of the Year.” Ezra also made an appearance on Ellen where he also took a moment to share his advice with others who might feel discouraged in life or with their own disabilities. Ezra said, “You’ve just got to know that being different is OK. And that you can dream it, you can hope it or you can make it happen.”
