Cam Ayala was a contestant of Hannah Brown’s season of the Bachelorette and Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise. Cam was vocal on both shows and worked to be an advocate for the disease Lymphedema, which he was diagnosed with at age 11. He was crushed by the way ABC chose to edit out lymphedema and being edited as a villain, but now post show is doing incredible work as a voice for the community. Cam went through a recent leg amputation surgery and is currently in the recovery process as he continues to spread awareness for the extremely misunderstood disease.
