Over 13,000 babies around the world were deformed in the early 1960's because of a morning sickness drug, Thalidomide. Alvin Law was born without arms after his birth mother, thinking it was completely safe, used just a couple of the tiny pills and their lives were forever altered.
Yet, what may have become a tragic life-story did not turn out that way. Today, Alvin Law is not only a completely independent, remarkably successful professional speaker, but proof that out of nothing can arise one of the most inspiring stories you will ever witness.
Faced with no hope in their minds, Alvin's birth family courageously gave him up for adoption, hoping and praying that someone else may be more prepared for the welfare of this pitiful newborn. Their prayers were answered.
Hilda Law was a fifty-five year old foster mother, who, along with her husband, Jack, took in neglected and abused children, loved and encouraged them back from their hopelessness and through social service programs, sent them to couples yearning for adoptions. They were truly special people.
One day in 1960, the most disturbing case they had ever seen was presented to them. Take in a sickly, deformed baby whose future seemed certain. He would never possess any quality of life but he deserved more. Who knew?
Not only did Hilda nurse him back to health, but her intuition said lurking inside this impossible scenario was hope. Through the Law's faith, dedication and infinite belief, little Alvin Law learned to use his feet for hands.
Alvin attended regular schools in a day when handicapped children were relegated to institutions or at best, schools that segregated them from the normal students. Remarkable teachers saw his potential and worked with the family to encourage that potential.
Then like a genie in a bottle, Alvin was recognized for his musical ability and he joined the band. Within an impossibly short time, he became an award winning musician playing trombone, then the drums and then piano. He is also a talented singer whether in band or choir, his enthusiasm for life led to him being chosen by his fellow students for a special spirit award the night he graduated from high school with honors. He then enrolled at Mount Royal College, now a University and in 1980 graduated with a diploma in Broadcasting & Communications, again with honors.
A short time later, he was hired by an FM Radio station in Regina, Saskatchewan to be a disc-jockey and although it was a dream job, something bigger, and ultimately prophetic came along. 1981 was declared a United Nations International Year of Disabled Persons and a friend persuaded Alvin to leave radio to be a UN spokesperson. He then conducted awareness seminars in hundreds of schools across the province of Alberta, Canada. Thus began his adventures in the field of motivational speaking.
When the UN gig ended, he continued his commitment to disability awareness but this time, back in his beloved home province working for the Saskatchewan Abilities Council, an Easter Seals agency. His speaking even gained national press attention and the word got out about his remarkable story and unparalleled musical talent.
But Alvin was never good at settling in to something for too long so loving a challenge, he threw his name in the political ring running for a seat in the Saskatchewan Legislature. He ultimately lost but the experience changed his life path. After the birth of his son, Vance, in 1985, he decided to follow the money away from non-profit work and became an advertising director which then led to a cushy government job managing the newly minted employment equity division. It seemed beaureaucracy wasn't Alvin's thing and with a marriage on the rocks, Alvin did something that at the time seemed crazy. He quit his job, got a divorce and started his own company, AJL Communications, a vehicle that returned him to his real passion; speaking!
Since then, lots has happened. In 1991, while speaking at an event in Alberta, he met Darlene and if the notion of a "soul-mate" exists, they found each other and in a mere six months, Darlene moved to Regina to not only share Alvin's life, but run his, then their company. In fact, their job titles say it all; Alvin/Talent, Darlene/Brains. This little company has taken Alvin & Darlene to five continents and Alvin has presented to over 2,000,000 people in over 7,500 programs. He has earned his Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation and in 2009, was the sole inductee in the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Hall of Fame.
In 2006, another dream came true and the book everyone had been asking for was finally released. "Alvin's Laws of Life...5 Steps to Successfully Overcome Anything" is a Canadian best-seller.
Alvin has been recognized in ways too numerous to mention but for him, a highlight was playing a role on the hit television series, "X-Files". He has also been in numerous documentaries and even has an Emmy Award for a special on ABC-TV in the States.
Perhaps the most important illustration of what drives Alvin Law is that since 1976, he has played a direct role in raising over $165,000,000 (yes million) for charities, mostly ones who work with disabled kids. Alvin is the real deal!
Alvin and Darlene (and Vance too) live in beauiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada and being empty nesters, they now have two Border Collies, Jazper & Raymond and a precocious cat, Trixie.

Alvin's Laws of Life
Drawing on 25 years experience as a speaker, but more importantly 45 years experience living life without arms, Alvin presents what he calls Alvin’s Laws of Life. Using vivid imagery in telling his life story, Alvin’s exploration on Attitude, Learning, Value, Imagination and a Never Give Up Approach shows not how he overcame the immense challenges brought on through being born without arms, but how everyone can overcome their own challenges in life.
When Alvin Law was born without arms, medical and rehabilitation experts predicted a life of constant care that might be best provided by institutionalization. Desperately hurt and feeling helpless, his family gave him up for adoption. The only people willing to take a chance were elderly foster-parents without even a day spent in high school. Society would come to know children like Alvin as “Thalidomide Babies” and treat them with a mixture of sympathy and disgust. The odds were not in Alvin’s favor.
Today, Alvin Law is married; is a father; is an accomplished musician, broadcaster, fund-raiser and owns his own communications business. Since 1988 he has spoken to over one million people in Canada, the U.S. and Australia. He is completely independent and his abilities far outweigh his so-called “disability”. How is it possible for someone to succeed in the face of so much opposition?
That question provides the foundation for a presentation that will make you laugh, cry and most of all, think about the power each of us possesses. A power that we cannot only use for our own benefit, but a power that can transform those we deal with everyday.
Many describe Alvin’s use of his feet (he plays the piano and snare drum in the program) as amazing. But, as you will see, this is more than just another motivational speech about human achievement. It challenges our perceptions of the status quo and perhaps most important, it’s real. As Alvin would stress, this program isn’t just about what he has done, but what is truly possible for everyone. It’s about life, something we all have in common.
Alvin's Laws of Life
A Attitude is more than just being positive…it’s a way of looking at life, ours and everybody’s. It is said to be Everything because it is Everything. It defines who we are and what we become!
L Learning is the greatest gift we give ourselves. It can transform us from nobody to somebody and is the great equalizer. To not learn as much as we can is to disrespect the gift of life. In learning, we must also ask questions. That’s good because people need to listen more and Talk less. There is knowledge all around us… we just have to listen for the answer. To listen is to learn and to learn is to grow.
V Value your life and spirit. Too many people live another “V”, that of Victim. It’s true, Bad things happen to good people and there are victims. The trouble is there’s no answer to the question, “Why Me?” Even worse, Victims often get stuck in their past when what they need is to live for today and move toward the future. When you focus on moving forward, you never know what you’ll discover. Everyone has value…finding it, that’s the trick.
I Imagination is the key that unlocks the power of potential. It is not owned by the young but they are best at using it. It defines the difference between Obstacles and Possibilities! Imagination leads to dreams and dreams make life worth living. Dreams can Come True…This I know.
N Never give up!! Easy to say, hard to do. The biggest enemy we will ever have we encounter every time we look in a mirror. Yet mirrors do not reflect who we truly are…our lives do.
There’s No Such Word As Can’t
Suggested Audience - Grades 7 to 12
Aimed at adolescents and young adults, this program challenges the audience to believe that anything is possible with the right attitude. Alvin talks about growing up in the sixties when attitudes towards disabilities were anything but positive, including being stereotyped as severely crippled.
With the support of his parents, teachers and friends, Alvin not only overcame his disability, but participated in most sports and music. But the pressures of school and adolescence gave Alvin his biggest challenge of all.
You will laugh and cry as you hear and see how, by using very talented feet, and more important, a good attitude, Alvin not only learned to accept his difference, but appreciate it. Alvin believes that what you see when you look in a mirror, should be the beauty of individuality, not the ugliness of imperfection. The next logical step becomes seeing others that way as well.
These idealistic views are common among speakers, but the visual impact of Alvin playing a drum with his feet and his infectious energy will never leave you.
Over 1.5 million students across North America and around the world have been touched by Alvin's inspiring self image. The most consistent comment from school administrators is Alvin's ability to keep a full-school assembly not just captivated, but asking for more.
The most consistent comment from the students says it all:
"His humour, his honesty, his sincerity makes you realize that not only is it okay to be yourself, it's the only way to be!"

“I am confident your presentations motivated those in attendance to make the best of whatever situation they find themselves in. I know listening to you motivates me to be a better husband, father, son and police officer!!”
B. Penner, Saskatoon Crime Stoppers
“You are Amazing! Not because you can read a book on the airplane, or brush your hair, or even play the keyboard the way you did. But rather because of the message you gave everyone in the room on May 1. And, I am sure everyone took away something a little different. Once conference delegate / presenter who came from Utah wrote on her evaluation: “The whole trip was worth just having Alvin speak.”
K. Jones-Galley, Bloorview MamMillan Children’s Centre
“I would have been quite happy to have each of the Keynote speakers provoke the feelings and thoughts one of the words from our theme, Motivate. Inspire.Lead., to our delegates. You however, encompassed all of them. I appreciate the preparation and time you invested in the presentation made specifically for the AMM. It truly contributed to the success of the Convention.”
D. Belbin, Association of Manitoba Municipalities
“Your program was rated by our delegates at an outstanding 4.97 out of 5, placing you as one of our top ranked speakers for the conference. We were delighted that our overall rating on this conference was a 4.8. The time and effort you put into your presentation and into getting to know our attendees had a direct impact on the success we achieved.”
P. Goodberry-Dyck, HealthCare Service Excellence Association
“Mr. Law, you are truly fascinating speaker to witness and experience. You inspire with your boundless energy and passion for life and all it has to offer, and you intrigue us with your tried and true philosophies on human beings in general. Your message is effective and is one the vast majority of us will carry with us throughout life, thanks to the superior job you do in delivering it.”
M. Appleton, Lord Beaverbrook Senior High School
“Your candid depiction of your life was both heartwarming and inspiring. It was also a timely reminder to our staff of the value of each person as well as the importance of taking the time to see the potential in every child.”
K. McGee, Brunswick County Schools
“Your address entitled “Everybody Counts… Especially You” was both insightful and inspiring to all of the conference attendees. You contributed to this success by helping provide participants with the means to meet their professional and personal challenges and making them aware of the importance of believing in themselves.”
C. Lachapelle, Canada School of Public Service
“Your participation as a speaker created value for the more than 350 delegates who attended and contributed significantly to the overall success of the Conference. Your preparation and work to present and share valuable information with colleagues from across the country was appreciated.”
J. Fralick, Canadian Society of Safety Engineering
“We have hosted many different speakers at our school assemblies and, without doubt, Alvin was able to motivate, inspire, entertain and challenge every single student in both assemblies. He was able to relate to students of all ages. His ability to have the same effect on the over one hundred teachers and parents, was also evident. Alvin not only moved his audience, but also left them with a message that was repeated numerous times in the evaluations that were submitted. The balance between laughter and hushed silence was incredible!”
B. Yakichuk, Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School
“I must say that your presentation was one of, if not the best I have heard. In our industry as in others, we all have many opportunities to sit and listen to various types of motivational speakers. Some are very good and you leave the room with something and some you feel you have just wasted your time. Today, I definitely left the room knowing that I had just received an education from you in attitude, in overcoming adversity and in celebrating one’s life. I found at various moments your presentation to be filled with such emotion that I was close to tears and yet at other moments I was chuckling with laughter at an incident you recalled.”
R. Elliott, McKeough Supply Inc.
“Your presentation was the highlight of our meetings. You touched everyone in the room with your passion and drive. It was a very timely presentation, as we are currently undergoing major changes. There is no such word as can’t, has become a symbol for our staff.”
J. Phillips, All Weather Windows
“Your energy, passion and zest for life is phenomenal! You did an outstanding job of energizing and facilitating students and played a key role in the success of this year’s conference! Your Keynote address was both intriguing and inspiring. It had just the right balance of humor and hardcore-life-leadership lessons! It is moments at events like this year’s conference that leaders such as yourself step forward and show others just what the true meaning of passion is.”
