When Adam Myers was hit by a stabbing sensation one afternoon while working in a garage, he immediately knew something was wrong.

But incredibly, Adam wasn’t affected by the life-changing diagnosis and had just one thing on his mind while being given the news – KFC.
“It never got to me or affected me mentally,” he told
