Steve Atherton, 27, spent his childhood excelling in sports. He was a Little League all star and played soccer for the Slithering Snakes and the Lethal Leopards. He snowboarded, surfed and skated for ET Surf. He rode BMX bikes and rollerbladed, camped and fished, hiked and climbed. He played varsity golf in high school and played on the El Camino College team. Today, he is a prisoner in his own body, consumed by a rare, one-in-a-million autoimmune disease called Stiff Person Syndrome.
