A SEVERE skin condition hasn’t stopped one man from becoming a bodybuilder and motivational speaker, despite doctors initially saying he wouldn’t live past the age of five. Dean Clifford, now 38, has become the oldest living survivor in the world of the most serious form of Epidermolysis Bullosa. The genetic condition causes the Queensland-native to have incredibly fragile skin, which blisters frequently and takes much longer than usual to heal itself. Despite this, Dean has transformed himself from a physically weak and sick child to a practiced bodybuilder with a successful motivational speaking business.
