The American Warrior Initiative and area realtors presented Abilities In Motion\u2019s Josh Sust a $5,500 grant last week. Josh became an amputee as a result of his service in the US Marines during his third deployment in Afghanistan. The grant will allow him to hire a personal trainer to aid him in his recovery.<\/p>\n

Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell of the American Warrior Initiative came to Cincinnati to educate area realtors on how to best interact and assist veterans. \u201cMy goal was to stir them, bring out their patriotic spirit and help thousands of veterans like Josh. None of us can do everything, but each of us can do one thing,\u201d said Thaxton.<\/p>\n

The group recognizes the important role realtors can play in helping veterans once returning home from deployments. \u201cGuys come back forever changed, sometimes with physical and mental injuries. It\u2019s important for them to have a support group that reminds them that even though they come back different, it doesn\u2019t change the core of who they are,\u201d said Parnell.<\/p>\n

Josh made it clear that he intends to pay forward<\/i> this opportunity, and that attitude is on display everyday at work. Josh\u2019s injury has put him in a unique position to connect with the amputee patients he sees everyday at Abilities In Motion. \u201cEvery day he reminds our patients that their injuries do not define them, and he motivates them to overcome the challenges they face,\u201d said Tom Walsh the Lead Prosthetist at Abilities In Motion.<\/p>\n
