Finding purpose in snowboarding and not treating life differently

After losing his leg below the knee to osteogenic sarcoma at the age of 10, John Leslie went on to join Team Canada as a Paralympic snowboarder and compete in the Paralympic Games in 2014 & 2018. He joined us on the podcast to talk about his battle with cancer, his experiences in Sochi and Pyeongchang, the economic viability of the Olympics as a whole, and the importance of winter sport.
