The Disabled Bodybuilder

Name: Arnett Washington
Disability: Cerebral Palsy
My name is Arnett Washington, I'm 43 years old and I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I'm on a new journey to become a bodybuilder and compete professionally. I've refused to let my disability control my life or stop my dreams. People have always doubted me and told me what they thought I would never be able to do or accomplish, so it's always been my mission to prove everyone wrong. Here's a list of my accomplishments: I got married in 1998, I'm a proud father of three wonderful kids, I have a degree in Pre Law and Applied Science, I got my drivers license in 1998, and I'm always on a mission to conquer new goals and show my kids that they can achieve whatever goals they set for themselves!!! I want people to know that having a disability doesn’t mean that life is over, things might be complicated but never over. It’s time that people with disabilities get out there and start being more active and live a healthier and more fit lifestyle!!!
