Yeray Betancor from Lanzarote is vying to appear in the Cosmopolitan 2015 calendar and become the "Cosmo Boy". After passing different pre-selections, he is in the final phase of this contest. His candidacy is somewhat peculiar, since given his disability he uses a wheelchair. This, however, has not been an impediment for him to be among those selected.
Yeray Betancor, who suffered a terrible accident that left him in a wheelchair, likes to "enjoy life", play sports, such as paleotraining, have a good conversation and laugh with friends, as he explains himself on the Cosmopolitan website.
Currently, the contest is in a public scoring phase, so everyone can vote and help the Lanzarote native to demonstrate that having a disability "is not an impediment to absolutely anything." He himself assures that his participation in this contest is "a clear and direct message to both society and other people with disabilities." "The only limits that exist are those that we set ourselves," he says.
User votes may "or may not" have some consideration to decide, but "in no case are they directly binding, the jury's decision being the only feasible decision on the election of the winners", as stated on this website.

Until noon this Thursday, the young conejero had already obtained 2,874 points, well below the first on the list, which has 10,000 points.
