Martin – Ataxia Stem Cell Patient

Martin "Marty" Bentler has been living with some degree of Ataxia for the past 20 years. Sick and progressively getting worse, he found no interest in his doctors to improve his quality of life. They called when they had a new test. He just wanted to walk without dragging his feet so much. Marty was one of the first international patients to receive stem cell transplants at the new St Michael's center in Shanghai. Check out his Patient Experience at StemCellsChina for more information.
