A FATHER-OF-FOUR without arms and legs proved that everything is possible, despite losing his limbs due to meningitis at the age of two. Joseph Reed, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, says he had an unhappy childhood in a foster family, and even experienced suicidal thoughts while growing up. Today the 34-year-old is a happy man and lives his life to the fullest – he is a father of four, a husband, and holds down a full-time job. The man, nicknamed by friends ‘nub zero the no legged hero’ is a great inspiration to his family and friends and many others around him.
