How a Cancer Survivor Becomes Olympic Champion | The Happiness Stories

When basketball player Joe Chambers' leg was amputated after a fight with bone cancer, Joe did not think he would ever play the sport again. That was, until his introduction to the world of wheelchair basketball. Joe has since become one of the best offensive wheelchair basketball players in the country, playing for the US in the 2008 Paralympics and is sought after by numerous teams across the country. Joe put aside the limits of his condition to create a legacy for himself and make his mark on the world of basketball.
Joe's amazing story is part of our collaboration with The Happiness Stories and director Ron Parida, who presents portraits of individuals who have been dealt life's toughest challenges, but who choose to persevere and do inspiring things.
