Powerlifter Chevi Peters, aka "Manimal," stars in this literally uplifting spot by Hill Holliday, part of a year-long, multichannel Bank of America campaign around the Special Olympics. 

Peters was born with biliary atresia, a life-threatening condition affecting the liver, and was not expected to live past the age of 2. He endured 38 major surgeries, including liver and kidney transplants, kicking each obstacle to the curb to realize his dreams.
