On Thursday, July 23, 2009 we had a guest speaker his name is Josh. He came to talk to use about wheelchair accessibility in Philadelphia Parks. He has a wheelchair himself, he was in the wheelchair since he was 10. And he has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, meaning his muscles are not as strong as they should be, that causes him not to be able to move without the help of a wheelchair. Josh is a very nice person and very smart he does not let DMD ruin his life. He is a motivation to not let any disability stop you from doing anything you want to do. He acts like a normal person, to be honest he seems perfectly healthy besides the chair and the equipment to help him breathe.
