THIS BRAVE fitness enthusiast has found his happiness - despite living with two rare bone diseases. 22-year-old Christopher Hebert, otherwise known as CJ, was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) and Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE). PFFD resulted in CJ missing his right femur bone, whilst MHE has caused painful bone tumours all over his body. CJ, from Kansas, USA, decided to have a Rotationplasty surgery where doctors amputated his right leg but re-attached it so that his foot could act as a mobilised knee-joint within a prosthetic. This has enabled CJ to lead a more ‘normal’ and ‘active’ life - he now thanks fitness and his fiancée, MacKenzi Eisenbraun, for saving him.

This guy's a prime example of when life gives you lemons you made pink lemonade. I hope he's happy! He appears amazingly strong 💪💕
Yes.
Pink?
This guy has more strength and determination than a lot of people I know.
That’s good that his disability doesn’t stop him from what he enjoys doing most👍🏾
What if he doesn’t enjoy anthing
His gf
Not only that he has a Disability but he had to go trough surgery many times. It made me happy that he found his love with Mckennzy. Great story!
Wait Mackenzie you mean? She has a boyfriend but they broke up.
@@chl4._ Mackenzi**
@@chl4._ not true they are still together and happy and I talk to them atleast 2 times a week so do your research before you assume.
@Fn Stephn not true at all, they are happily married now :) I would know....I know them both irl. Fun fact: I actually mc'd they're wedding
@Fn Stephn how are you going to tell me? I know them and real life and they're my friends.
I love Mackenzie for him, if he where my son I would really hope that somebody loved him just the way he is!! EVERYBODY DESERVES LOVE!!💞
I love that’s he’s so happy, they’re such a gorgeous couple too! I really hope he’s not in pain from the tumours. x
This guy's dating a Sophie Turner Look-a-like, he's instantly got more game than me.
But you have more legs. The moral of the story is don't let you disadvantages make you lose hope.
@@jhowardsupporter My disadvantage is my face.
She is rather pretty yes.
@@allennopphotography lmao same
...... So GRRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up with this kid and when I first saw him at the gym, he was an inspiration! Love you, CJ. You're killing it out there!
He seems like he would be the guy that is the life of the party , & everybody’s friend
To bad he’s not in the real word many people are going to clown him
@@XxTechRexxX not true I'm his real life friend and everyone loves him for who he is! Think before you make assumptions.
I’m glad he has her you can tell she really loves him 👏🏽
Thanks so much for sharing your story! As a nurse this is so very fascinating to me!! So proud of you CJ and I am so very happy you and Kenzie found each other and you laugh and love and live life to the fullest! 💓
THIS GUY IS MY CHURCH FRIENDD YESS YOU GOOO
JunsterD hey junior!!!!!
Only at church?
@@Beyondme7700 hes my friend from my church
@@giovannakelker4676 yoooo
You’re so strong, so brave and such an inspiration. I have a joint disease that causes me pain constantly and prohibits movement. After several surgeries, I’m avoiding them until I have no choice left because of the risk of infections. I’m much older and I was 38 when I was diagnosed and became physically limited. Im saying this because I feel like I’m not pushing myself hard enough and I’m letting the disability mentally defeat me. Seeing you and others on this channel not giving up or giving in is such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story, I know you’ll have a wonderful, happy life. God bless. 💜🙏💜
I have a really painful joint and connective tissue disorder also, EDS. I can't walk more than a few feet anymore. I feel for you.
Decent young man with a bright future ahead. Way to go!
Such a handsome young man.. love his outlook on life..xx
What a sweet person everyone deserves love no matter what his motivation in life is great I love stories like this because you learn so much about not giving up when life is hard 👍
I can't even balance on skateboard

SugaKookies exactly
Man, that is different. That surgery is something. That’s awesome that they used his foot to give him the mechanics of a knee. Cool.
He looks a very ambitious guy and the disability seems not stopping him! That’s the vibe!!! I love that!! Wait what!!?!! He went to Machu Picchu!!! I’ve there before and it is a very exciting place to hike and have fun!!!!
I absolutely love this young man!
He’s impeccably capable of being strong & determined for somebody his physical weakness! It’s amazing! I do not know how he does that! Plus, he has a fiancée, I’m not even thinking about marriage yet! He is dating somebody who reminds me of somebody I know in real life! Pretty cool lifestyle he’s got
Mackenzi is so cute, she has such a nice smile, and they look so happy together!
Yes CJ!! I go to my youth group with him, and he is such a nice person and has such a heart for God. ❤️🙏🏻😄
God bless that man. 💯 I 💕 Truly channel!
He reminds me of Xander from Buffy! Very cute couple, they seem sweet and good for each other. ☺️
i go to church with him and your comment literally is so accurate 😂😂😂
What a great couple! I know someone who had a rotationplasty due to bone cancer, it's amazing how effective it can be. All the best for their future.
this man wins frr, this girl is so beautiful, no cap!!
God bless you. Amen
It makes me so happy he found somebody
Dear Christopher, your will power and positive thinking will help you overcoming your disease, and with the years to come you WILL learn to handle your prosthetic leg better and better. Maybe, in the nearer or farer future, you might get the removed middle section of your leg implanted again. Never give up hope. Sympathies from Maastricht, South Limburg Province, Kingdom of The Netherlands.
These people are no different from other people.. God makes everything Perfect! God bless him
As someone who couldn't use her right leg almost for four months, I am amazed by what this guy is doing! This is awesome! I hope for him, that he will never need any surgery again. Surgeries sucks!
I love how cj is so happy and upbeat even tho he has struggles!
She brought the best out in him and he is bringing the best out in her.
Very inspiring ❤. Sending him lots of love - thank you for sharing your story!
That mug! Love it, Pray without ceasing 💗
Plein d'amour et de force du Québec. Tu es une force de la nature et un exemple de persévérance. Wow! You are fabulous.
Agreed.
What a wonderful young couple!!! 🥰
The people on this channel always have the best spouses and significant others ever❤❤
He’s handsome, strong, motivated and funny? Yoo McKenzie you lucked out girl😉
modern medecin is a lot more creative then i ever thought. i would have never gotten the idea to turn his foot to use it as his knee
Am just happy bcos you have a wife who is loving, and caring for you, no matter what... She loved you for who you are,, May your union reign forever....
Because not becous
WE LOVE YOU CJ!!
Adorable couple. He’s awesome.
It's so tragic that he thought love just wasn't in his cards, everyone deserves love 😭 I'm so glad he's found such a great girl!
My cousin has the same leg deformity she’s missing her femur
Kattie Miranda-Brun wow. I wonder how common this is.
Well she’s technically my moms cousins she’s now in her late 60’s and when she was young it was very rare. She has to wear a brace so she can walk normal.
This is the coolest thing ive ever seen
Manny G it’s pretty sweet how they made a knee joint by using his ankle.
He got that Deadpool foot
Ajay “baby legs” 😂 Me and my friends joke about that all the time.
He has that awesome combination of being sweet and strong.
What a great guy. What a great couple! Wishing them all the best! 💙😘💙
It’s amazing what you can do. My son was born with pffd and he is 16 and nothing slows him down . He always makes sure to enjoy each day and to do his best.
You are an inspiration,God Bless you!!!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!!
I was born different too with 1 bone that was outrageously huge i was born with a 7 incher im 36 and now its a 13 incher sometimes i wish i could snap off a few inches but i hang in there
I love all of the loving comments 😊👍💜🇦🇺
Well done for having a positive attitude even through your disability. Glad your happily in love and living life to the fullest xxx
You sound so inspiring even though your knee is like your foot, you can still do basically everything, everyone else can, & it doesn’t hold you back from what you want to do. You can lift weights & do exercises just like everyone else can, it might take some patience for you to Finish your workout because you to pick yourself back up & put on the prosthetic leg of yours but you can do anything that is possible. You can do so much. Wow that’s amazing & that’s how inspiring you are.
Good job my guy! Discipline is the highest form of self love! Keep up the good work!
I am so glad he is loved!
This guy is living in his life makes me feel bad remaining in my comfort zone.
She looks like Sansa Stark a bit!
@@anticcp1143 ok? Why what does that have to do with anything? In America it's easy to make more than a 100 a month. All you have to do is work. If someone cant make money in their country they should come to the usa and become citizens.
@@silkyjohnson4519 ignore that dude. he is literally commenting that same thing on every comment.
your a truly inspirational dude.....well done doing what you want no barriers NOW !!!!
You're amazing!!!! I'm able bodied and you're waaaaay more athletic than me 🙈
With faith nothing is imposible....it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like....what matters the most is having the confidence needed to live your best life.....
Stay bless mate stay positive and live your life like legend love and respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You are a hero bro! keep fighting and never ever give up...

You are phenomenally born different☺️ Thanks for reminding me and the world that we are amazing just the way we are👍🏽
Looked through the comments, and not one Cotton Hill reference......i expected at least one, CZcams
Love this guy ...amazing life temperament
..... I LOVE this young guy! Despite his bone diseases he gets more exercise and is far more active, than every LAZY, obese bum I've been friends with or have known! BRAVO!
