Kenneth Hill Jr. has CMT disease, a condition that runs in his family. He's not upset about it because he grew up seeing it, and he's grateful the diagnosis came late enough to let him build mental and spiritual strength first.

2 questions I'm asked quite often is, are you upset that you have CMT, which is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease? And I tell them, no, I'm not upset about it because, you know, it's something that's in my family. So it's something that I saw growing up. I didn't know that I had it until my mid-30s, but not upset about it at all. Just made life challenging. The second question I get all the time is, well, aren't you upset that you didn't know sooner? And no, I'm not upset about that either, because if I had known sooner, back when doctors said it was just my ankles, I probably would have given up because I wasn't as strong as I am now, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, none of that. So even though I don't always understand why things happen the way they do and when they do, it's all for a reason, and I've learned to just say okay to it. And what's for dinner?
