QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE BECOMES PRO SPORTSMAN AFTER GIVEN ONLY 3% SURVIVAL RATE AS CHILD
Dayton Webber's story is one of perseverance against all odds. Webber is now a professional athlete in the American Cornhole League (ACL), making headlines for his incredible pitching and impeccable accuracy. Even before looking at his impressive stats, the very fact that he has come this far is impressive and life affirming. Born in 1998, Webber was diagnosed with streptococcal pneumonia when he was 10 months old. The prognosis was grim, with doctors giving him only a 3% chance of survival. Both his arms and legs had to be amputated to save his life and prevent the spread of infection. After spending months in the hospital, Webber matured into an ACL professional cornhole player and became the first amputee in the history of the association.
