A man born with half a body says he refuses to let his disability hold him back and can run, cook, dance and walk his dog - without legs and an arm.
Tim Mason, 25, is able to live fully independently and loves to walk his dog, cook, dance and work out on his treadmill - despite having no legs.
He was born in Moscow, Russia, with no lower limbs and one arm and put in an orphanage - where they thought he was unlikely to ever be adopted.
Tim was told by doctors that his biological mother was exposed to high amounts of radiation following the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 - causing his disabilities.
At three years old Tim was adopted by Virginia Mason, 80, a retired non-profit CEO, who knew she wanted to be his mum as soon as she saw him.
