Some people step up to life’s incomparable challenges. Josh Brewer grew up in Sub Saharan Africa in a single-parent home. After losing his father, and leaving his mother’s home, he lost three of his limbs in a train accident. After being adopted and moving to the states a chance meeting led Josh to wheelchair basketball. This became his passion and has led him to the Olympics in Rio and to finishing his college education at one of the top wheelchair basketball programs in the US.
