One-legged Cancer Survivor Makes A Halloween Costume Every Year, And He Just Revealed His Newest
Josh Sundquist uses his humor to overcome the social awkwardness that comes from being an amputee. He was 9 when he was diagnosed with cancer and doctors gave him a 50% chance of survival. He’s survived, but it came at a cost of him losing a leg, even despite the chemotherapy.

Which may be either weird or refreshing, depending on your perspective.” The inspiration for each of the costume is explained below!
