A man from Solihull who was born with cerebral palsy says he’s made it his life’s mission to change outdated views on disability.
Joe Bird, 30, is an avid gym-goer and despite his condition can perform exercises that most abled-bodied people would struggle with – including pull ups with 20kg strapped around his waist.
He says that his disability will never hold him back.
“In my mind I don’t have those limitations that the word disabled comes with,” he said.
