In a world where adversity often defines the human spirit, there are those who rise above challenges to inspire and uplift others. One such individual is Josh Sundquist – a man whose journey from cancer survivor to motivational speaker and social media influencer has captivated audiences worldwide.
Josh’s story is one of resilience and determination.
From a young age, Josh Sundquist faced a challenge that would shape his life in unexpected ways.
At just nine years old, he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, with slim odds of survival. Enduring a year of gruelling chemotherapy treatments, Josh’s resilience was put to the test.
However, his journey took a drastic turn when doctors made the difficult decision to amputate his left leg from the hip. He later emerged victorious when he was declared cancer-free at thirteen.
Despite the immense physical and emotional toll of his cancer battle, Josh refused to let his spirit be broken. During his chemotherapy treatments, he discovered a newfound passion for skiing through an adaptive sports program at his children’s hospital. Fuelled by an indomitable spirit, he delved into ski racing just three years after his recovery.
His dedication paid off when he earned a spot on the US Paralympic Ski Team for the 2006 Paralympics in Turin, Italy. Josh not only learned to ski but excelled at it, paving the way for remarkable achievements in the world of adaptive sports. Today, he continues to represent the United States on the international stage as a member of the U.S. Amputee Soccer Team.
Josh’s journey of turning disability into ability is truly remarkable.
Despite facing physical challenges, he embraced creativity as his superpower.
Instead of letting his limb difference hold him back, he used it as a source of inspiration for his Halloween costumes. By ingeniously incorporating his unique body shape into his costume designs, Josh not only showcased his sense of humour but also highlighted his resilience and creativity.
Through his annual Halloween transformations, Josh sends a powerful message of empowerment and inclusivity. He demonstrates that disabilities need not limit one’s potential; rather, they can serve as catalysts for innovation and self-expression.
Josh’s ability to turn something perceived as a limitation into a platform for spreading joy and laughter exemplifies the triumph of the human spirit.
Yet, it’s not just his athletic achievements that have garnered attention. Josh’s presence on the internet, particularly through his viral photos and captivating videos, has earned him a massive following. With over one million followers and his videos viewed over 150 million times, Josh’s influence extends far beyond the realms of traditional media.
Beyond his athletic endeavours, Josh has dedicated himself to making a difference in the lives of others.
As a social media influencer, Josh has partnered with renowned brands such as Chase, Chevy, and AT&T, leveraging his platform to promote and support causes close to his heart.
He serves as a Celebrity Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, tirelessly raising funds for paediatric care across the U.S. and Canada.
His advocacy has even led to notable recognition, including being featured on the back of Doritos bags for his impactful work on behalf of amputees.
Josh’s impact transcends the digital sphere. Not content with just one form of expression, Josh is also an accomplished author. He’s been featured on CNN, USA TODAY, and NPR, sharing his story of resilience and hope with millions. His debut novel, “Love and First Sight,” explores themes of love and perception and has been translated into multiple languages, captivating audiences worldwide.
His memoirs, including the National Bestseller “Just Don’t Fall” and the optioned-for-movie-rights “We Should Hang Out Sometime,” offer poignant insights into his journey.
Hailing from Virginia, Josh’s journey of triumph and advocacy has been anchored by a commitment to education.
He holds a degree in business from The College of William and Mary and a Master’s in Communications from the University of Southern California.
Today, Josh resides in California with his wife Ashley and their son, finding solace near the tranquil shores of the beach.
Together, they share a love for magic shows and exploring historical sites around the world.
Josh Sundquist’s story serves as a testament to the power of the human spirit. In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, he stands as a beacon of inspiration, leveraging his journey of courage and resilience to uplift and empower others around the world.
