Canadian Woody Belfort is a super athlete that lives with Cerebral Palsy

It was approximately nine months ago when we met Woody Belfort when he was competing at the Canada Games. He was there as a wheelchair basketball athlete, but his integration in the world of sport goes much, much deeper than that.
Belfort lives with a form of Cerebral Palsy which limits his ability to use his legs. As a result, he competes in a wheelchair. While many may see this as a disability, he has abilities that lots of people don’t through his intense dedication to his body.
Belfort prides himself on his bodybuilding, and he’s not afraid to show it off. Now running a cerified Instagram account, Belfort routinely posts videos for his 40.4K followers to marvel and find inspiration over. His motto – win or learn, there is no lose.
His freak-of-nature abilities even caught the eye of Toronto rapper Tory Lanez once upon a time mid-concert, and the two have kept in touch since. We asked Belfort about how it happened, and it’s nothing short of incredible.
