Thanks to Hollis for Joining Alex Garrett's One Leg Up Network! 

As written on Podmatch, here is more on Mr. Peirce's advocacy work in Canada! 

Hollis Peirce, a physically disabled man in his late 30s, uses his dry and dark humor to navigate life's challenges. Diagnosed with MD at six months, he defied low expectations and pursued ambitious goals. He earned a bachelor's in History in 2015 and a master's in History with a specialization in Digital Humanities in 2019. Finally, he founded the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League in 2009 and volunteered at local music festivals throughout his youth. His efforts earned him the Governor General of Canada's Meritorious Service Medal in 2024.
