Who is Chaz Hayden?
Hey, friends! My name is Chaz and I have a disability called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). This just means I have weak muscles and get to ride around in a sick wheelchair. Other than that, I'm a regular chicken nugget eating, football watching, music loving, tattoo collecting, writer of young adult novels.
