• Clayton Robert Hogan had spent his whole life
  climbing mountains and hiking. He was in his top
  form and he was on a regular hike when he fell
  and broke his wrist. What he thought was just a
  bit of bad luck ended up into something much more
  serious.

• At the hospital where he had his wrist treated,
  they informed him that he had osteoporosis.
  Nevertheless, rather than seeing this as the end
  of his life as he knew it, he took it as a new
  challenge. He is now proud to announce that, just
  one year after his diagnosis, he has been able to
  climb Mount Washington.

• He says "I couldn't believe it when I was
  diagnosed. How could I suffer from osteoporosis,
  when I have been so healthy all my life? I was
  told I would have to take it easy from now on,
  but I didn't take that advice. My theory was that
  I would only get weaker if I didn't keep going,
  and my latest climb has proven that."

• Osteoporosis is a debilitating condition whereby
  the bones become weaker and fragile, so that
  those who have it have much higher risk of having
  a fracture. It is a slow-developing condition and
  most people, like Clayton Robert Hogan , are only
  diagnosed when they break a bone.

• Clayton Robert Hogan adds "When I started to get
  all the information leaflets and booklets about
  osteoporosis, I thought I was made of glass.
  Apparently, people with the condition frequently
  break their pelvis or arm. A sneeze can make the
  spinal bones collapse or a rib to break! I felt
  like Samuel J. Jackson in Unbreakable all of the
  sudden..."
