UK, Northern Ireland -- An Ulster arthritis sufferer, once so ravaged by the disease he had to have six toes amputated, is to prove he's fighting fit once more at a special martial arts extravaganza, according to belfasttelegraph.co.uk.
35-year-old Shane McCaffrey was once so crippled by arthritis he felt like "an old man" and was left unable to play with his young son Brandon, now aged 11, or carry out any ordinary household chores. He said his passions for kung fu and kickboxing were the last things on his mind.
But thanks to a drug called Enbrel, which he began taking last year, his condition has been transformed enough for him to return to the ring.
