Adam Pearson was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis at age five, causing tumors to grow on his face. Classmates treated him like he “wasn’t human,” but he refused to let their cruelty define him.
Now an actor and advocate, Pearson has starred in films like Under the Skin and works to “erase the stigma” surrounding his condition. His story is a reminder to appreciate life and not dwell on small inconveniences.
“It’s easy to complain about small things,” but Pearson’s journey shows the power of resilience and self-acceptance.
