We interviewed the 23-year-old Concordia University (Montreal) marketing major while he was traveling to London, Ontario, as part of his motivational speaking tour…which he spices up with a little breakdancing.
Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli was born in Montreal and raised in Bethesda, Md. Luca was diagnosed with arthrogryposis, a very rare muscle disorder that limits motion in the joints and affects bone structure. In Luca’s case, it has weakened both his legs.
Luca was treated by Dr.François Fassier at the Shriners Hospitals for Children® in Montreal until the age of four, and then again in his late teens when he returned to Canada to attend university. Luca has had a total of 16 surgeries on his legs and spine.
