Born with a congenital birth defect that resulted in the amputation of his legs at age four, Ron Bachman was subsequently trained to walk on full-leg prostheses.  He struggled with the cumbersome devices at school and in public for years, while at home and at play he was most comfortable and agile, using his hands to get around.

Eventually, he decided that he didn’t have to walk on legs just because that’s what other people did.  Humorous, engaging and infused with Ron’s rock-n-roll spirit, this video will encourage all who view it to understand and appreciate diversity in everyone around them.

In this moving and dynamic film you’ll meet Ron as a four year old prior to his amputations all the way through to his life as a forty year-old man whose proudest accomplishment has been to raise his daughter by himself. Today he speaks to audiences both young and old from around the world about the importance of treating people with dignity and respect.
