Emmanuel was born and rasied in Ghana with a severely deformed right leg. He later went on to prove his worth, in a land where physical challenges were looked upon as a curse, by riding a bicycle almost 400 miles across his country - propelling himself with only one leg.

Expedition 360's mission is "to circle the world by human power alone, to use the adventure as a classroom learning tool, to encourage world citizenship between cultures, to promote environmental responsibility, and to live fully and enjoy the experience."
