Today on MS understood we chat with Dave Walsh. Dave was training for able body strong man competition when he got his first MS symptoms. Having family members with MS didn't make Dave's diagnosis any easier. After grieving is love for the strong man competition he discovered disabled strong person events. Turns out this was great for rediscovering himself and steering away from toxic masculinity. He's now set to compete in the worlds strongest person events in Canada in June, and different to the abled bodied events, the disabled events are all self funded. Dave is running a crowd funding campaign to help get him to Canada, you can find a link to this in the show notes if you're happy to donate.
