Josh’s Story
This event is inspired by the incredible journey of Army Sergeant Joshua Wetzel, a double amputee who has defied all odds. Josh lost both legs in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in Mushan, Afghanistan in May of 2012, and he received his prosthetic legs just before Christmas 2012. Since then, Joshua has learned how to walk, run, swim, hand cycle, monoski, drive and most importantly be a father. His resilience, grit and determination serve as the foundation for this workout—designed to challenge and inspire athletes of all fitness levels.
