Despite being born without legs, Kanya Sesser lives life to the absolute extreme. Born in Thailand, Kanya was found at the side of the road aged just three months before being adopted aged 5 by a family in the USA, where she grew up with an active lifestyle that continues today. Kanya started skateboarding aged 9 and quickly became a highly-skilled skater able to do handstands on her board. Kanya is also a fashion model and a talented actress, having appeared in shows like The Walking Dead and Hawaii Five-0, and today lives in Texas with her boyfriend Jeff.
