“I’m not going to let this stop me from doing what I love,” said Benett.

He worked hard to rehab his body and build the strength he needed to walk again. By the time he was a teenager, he had not only regained the ability to walk, but also became a champion bodybuilder in the physically challenged category.

He started weightlifting when he was just 13 years old and by the time he was 20, he had won numerous competitions. In fact, Savona’s disability has actually helped him become a better bodybuilder because it forces him to focus on other areas of his body that are not affected by his disorder.
