In this podcast episode, I interview speaker and victim of Thalidomide, Alvin Law.
Alvin was born without arms as a consequence of his mother’s use of thalidomide while pregnant.
He learned to perform routine activities using his feet alone, including eating, dressing, playing sports, and playing drums, piano, and trombone.
He is now a motivational speaker!
