A 31-year-old man fighting a fatal illness, Liam Griffiths is pleading with others to put their health first after recognizing the seriousness of his own error. Liam was once regarded as the “healthiest man in the world,” but after learning the terrible news about his illness, his life took an unexpected turn. Even though Liam used to be a committed gym-goer and had an active lifestyle, he is now only a shell of the person he once was.

Liam’s physical state has deteriorated to the point where he finds it difficult to perform even basic activities, like climbing stairs. “I literally am living the worst kind of life I could have ever imagined,” he bemoans. It’s awful. I’ve felt the mental strain of it. It’s drained me of everything physically.
