Emmanuel is a Ghanian native, who was born with a deformed right leg that was later amputated. Emmanuel grew up being mistreated by many people in his home country, because of his disability. Years later, with the help of the US based organization Challenged Athletes Foundation, he rode across on Ghana by bicycle to raise awareness for people with disabilities. He has traveled around the world to raise awareness and money for people with disabilities and the poverty stricken people of Ghana. He has worked with an organization that built wheelchairs for disabled in poor countries. He was also awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
