A quadruple amputee is going viral following an impressive showing in the American Cornhole League. Dayton Webber, who has no hands and no legs, was seen dominating his competition over the weekend.
Many have taken note of his incredible skill with the bags, and they’ve begun to post reactions on social media.
Webber’s story is one of perseverance and triumph. The now professional cornhole player was diagnosed with streptococcus pneumonia at just 10 months old and given a 3% chance to live.
To stop the bacterial infection from spreading, his family was forced to amputate both of his arms and legs.
