Desc: Being Martin: Directed by Lou Hamilton. Martin Symons is a man who was born with the rare condition Klippel-Feil syndrome. Martin's symptoms include a fusion of the cervical spine, cleft palate, hearing loss, hole in the head, heart condition, under bite, short neck with webbing, scoliosis, kyphosis and club feet. In 2003 he suffered with respiratory failure. Martin was also born with another rare condition: a Lust for Life. He may now not be able to walk more than 50 metres and needs a ventilator to stay alive, but this remarkable man set himself an adventurous challenge: to ride Coast to Coast following the Hadrian's wall cycle route, 100 miles in 7 days in an off-road electric wheelchair.
