REAL LIVES

On the 11th of September 2001, Michael Dorian, dressed in scrubs, raced towards the pile of debris that was now all that was left of the twin towers. He knew people would assume he was a doctor, but he wasn't, he was a veterinary technician. Whilst he was there, he helped many firefighters and volunteers.

In the years that followed, Michael became unwell. He had skin cancer, caused by wading through the rubble and debris of the twin towers. He needed special treatment to try to pro-long his life, but he had to prove that he had been there on 9/11 to get money from the World Trade Centre Victim's Compensation Fund.

Michael's story is incredible, so incredible that his best friend Neil Adam's has written a book on his life.
