Colfax Avenue: Josh Sundquist was an energetic and inquisitive nine-year-old when he was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a virulent cancer that eventually claimed his left leg. Sundquist will discuss and sign his remarkable memoir Just Don’t Fall: How I Grew Up, Conquered Illness, and Made It Down the Mountain ($25.95 Viking). Josh’s extraordinary journey takes him from his small southern town, through a dizzying array of hospitals, on to high school, and then to the mountains, where he learned to ski. On the slopes, his world burst wide open and he found within himself the drive to become a champion skier, despite his disability. While he navigated the dramas of high school and an unstable home life, Josh kept his eyes on the prize—the 2006 Paralympics in Turin, Italy. Visit Josh Sundquist’s website.
