A.S. Face 1337: Marc
My name is Marc from South Africa and I’m 35
Been diagnosed at the age of 25 been suffering from the age of 15. Doctors told me for years it’s growing pains and then juvenile rheumatoid until I had the genetic test done in the US when I was 25 and diagnosed properly.
The disease has fused my lower spine and cervical vertebrae but not fused my life. It has made me stronger and appreciate what I have. It has also unleashed some potentials I never knew existed within me. I’m a successful entrepreneur and an avid fitness enthusiast.
