Keenan Cahill - YouTube Lip Synching Sensation

When I first viewed Keenan Cahill's 'lip synching' videos I was little puzzled as to what exactly had earned Keenan the title 'YouTube Lip Synching Sensation'. I mean...he's not particularly good at it. Yet, some of the biggest names in Hollywood have sought out collaborating with Keenan appearing with him in his self-produced videos catapulting Keenan into international superstardom. After watching a few of Keenan's videos I began to notice something different about Keenan but couldn't quite identify the 'difference'. Then I came across a video that told Keenan's story. Keenan has overcome incredible adversity, suffering from a rare genetic disorder called Mucopolysaccaridosis (MPS-6) since birth. He's had over 10 surgeries and more may follow. Keenan endures weekly enzyme transfusions to slow the progression of the disease. Keenan is a boy how has spent the better part of his childhood shuttling between hospitals and suddenly now has no limits on who he could become and what he can achieve. I understood now how Keenan Cahill has earned the title "YouTube Lip Synching Sensation". His is an inspiring and uplifting story. Keenan has touched the hearts of millions, mine included. A few days prior to our interview, Keenan celebrated his 17th birthday, guests at his birthday party included Jason Derulo and Jordan Sparks. I'm so jealous!
