Powerlifter Jesso lifts not only weight but the perception of others

It is a common misconception that those with a disability are limited in their goals and achievements. I have long been aware that everyone is disabled in some way or another and that many people have ones that are hidden and not as evident as being blind. My wife is visually impaired and still to this day people ask me how she does the things she can do. My answer is always the same; just like you, her gifts skills and abilities are from the good Lord above. Below is an article I discovered in our local Scarborough Mirror of the same issue, I would like to point out that even the writer of the article has preconceived notions of the man in questions abilities as he mentions specifically that, "He was one of 14 competitors - All of them able-bodied". Why this is even mentioned is a sign that people find it hard to believe that the strongest man could be a blind man too.
