A rare condition has broken Vu Ngoc Anh’s bones more than 150 times, but his unbroken spirit has seen him climb mountains on his knees, literally.
Anh recalls reaching the foot of Dai Lanh lighthouse in the central province Phu Yen. In front of the wheelchair-bound man was a road clinging to the mountainside at the end of which were a set of steep stairs.
