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.
