==Early childhood and illness==
Kenny Fries was born to a fainting mother and father, who ran through the hospital screaming, "My wife gave birth to a freak!" Fries entered the world with only three toes on each foot, and undersized, twisted legs that lacked the regular number of bones. At the time of his birth, there was no medical name for his condition so it was referred to as "... congenital deformities of the lower extremities." When he was an infant, doctors advised Fries' parents to amputate his legs, but his parents took the advice of a prominent doctor who was convinced that one day Kenny could walk. From the age of 6 months until he was in fifth grade, Fries underwent numerous surgeries in the attempt to correct his legs. For most of his childhood, Fries was able to ambulate freely, as well as participating in sports and other activities. Fries described his childhood experiences in his book ''Body Remember'', in which he uses his surgical scars as a guide.
