JOSH SUNQUIST: View a movie of Josh’s story and then speak with him LIVE via Skype for a Q & A session!

At age nine Josh was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and given a 50% chance to live. He spent a year on chemotherapy treatments and his left leg was amputated. Doctors declared Josh cured of the disease at age thirteen. Josh began speaking to groups about his experi- ences at age ten. He has since shared his story as a keynote speaker at schools, Fortune 500 companies, and in Washington, DC at the White House. At eighteen, he was the second youngest person ever accepted as a Professional Member of the National Speaker’s Association. Don’t know who Josh is?
