Joshua is not just a Paralympic athlete; he's also an artist, motivational speaker, coach, and devoted father. With an impressive 31 Canadian championship titles in wheelchair racing across various distances, including marathons, he's left his mark on prestigious events like the Boston Marathon. Beyond the track, Josh spreads positivity through motivational talks and coaching, all while nurturing his artistic talents with a BAA in Illustration. Fueled by the belief in limitless potential, he's on a mission to uplift, lead and inspire others to chase their dreams. Join us today as we dive into these topics:
