Josh Sundquist ~ Just Don't Fall
Sunday, January 31, 5:30 reception, 6:00 presentation
Hosted at Battle Mountain High School
Tickets $25 General Public, $20 Vail Symposium Members, $10 with Student ID

Josh Sundquist is a Paralympic ski racer who has been featured on CNN and in USA TODAY and has spoken across the country to groups ranging from Fortune 500 companies to inner city public schools to the White House.

Josh's journey began at age nine, when he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and given a fifty percent 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 and he took up ski racing three years later. He trained for the next six years and in 2006 he was named to the US Paralympic Ski Team for the 2006 Paralympics in Turino, Italy.

Just Don't Fall is Josh's story, told in his own words with sincerity, humor, and hope.  This isn't just the story of a boy becoming a man, but of a champion realizing his greatest aspiration.
