Alvin Alvin was born with a congenital disability due to a drug called thalidomide. He has no hands or arms. He was placed in foster care after his birth and remained in this placement through his childhood and teenage years. Alvin eats, dresses, combs his hair, sews, plays the drum, piano, and trombone, all with his feet. Now a husband and father at the age of 61, Alvin credits his adoptive parents who raised him to be as self-sufficient as possible and the people of his rural community for helping him discover his abilities. Even now, during his extensive travel as a motivational speaker, he sometimes encounters strange glances when he arrives at car rental outlets to pick up his vehicle, or when he extends his right foot to greet a hand or eats at restaurants.
