2008 July > Lazylegz visits Bloorview Kids Rehab Centre

Lazylegz made a special visit to his old stomping grounds at Bloorview Kids Rehab centre to speak and motivate students to see that really, “It’s about taking the bad and making it good”. Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli was born with Arthrogryposis (multiplex congenital), which is a muscle disorder that limits motion in the joints. Typically, this rare disorder can affect the whole body but fortunately in Luca’s case, it affects only his legs. Lazylegz has performed on stage with world-renowned artists such as Kanye West, Talib Kweli, K-OS, and the Nappy Roots. Melanie Mcpherson an old student at Bloorview with Cerebral Palsy who is on the Canadian Sledge Hockey team and planning on becoming the first disabled woman Pilot was also on hand was also on hand to share her story. The kids loved both of Malanie and Layzlegs and we had an amazing time. For more information about Lazylegz visit www.lazylegz.com
