On this episode of Le Run Down we had an enlightening conversation with Multisport athlete and disability access strategist, Vasu Sojitra.
At an very young age Vasu had his leg amputated but it never stopped him from living a life filled with incredible adventure and challenges.
He's an astonishing multisport athlete, excelling at soccer, skiing, running, skateboarding, and so much more, all while working hard to bring positive change.
