He is a congenital amputee (he was born without arms or legs), and he has accomplished more athletic feats than most of us will in multiple lifetimes.
He has climbed some of the world's tallest mountains.
Won wrestling championships.
Fought in the MMA ring.
But he is subject to the same fears, doubts, struggles, and grief all of us are.
These are just some of the reasons I love my friend Kyle Maynard. (He's also hilarious.)
