I’d like to introduce you to Josh Marshall a veteran nurse who has been living with MS since he was was 23. He’s used a wheelchair for the last 5 years and is incredibly passionate about equality and inclusion in our community.

Having worked through the health system, handled MS and major injuries from a car accident you would think that would all of Josh’s story but he has gone on to achieve so much more. He is a member of Queensland Council of Social Service, a member of Spinal Life QL, a member of the Regional Access Disability Advisory Committee to Toowoomba Council and has made it his goal to work with both Governmental and non-Governmental agencies to improve the education, understanding and empathy for those living with disability.

In this episode Josh shares:

-      The hard journey of getting an MS diagnosis

-      The big life change he made after his diagnosis

-      The moment his life changed in a car accident

-      How the car accident combined with his MS to cause long term health problems

-      The journey he has gone on to become a disability access advocate
