64 Media has successfully pitched to The Good Weekend to profile our client, Josh Wood.

Josh Wood and his mother, Kay Ledson, will feature in the popular segment "The Two of Us" in both the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age editions of The Good Weekend in January 2009.

Josh and Kay were interviewed by Melbourne-based journalist Bernadette Clohesy.

"It was an interesting experience to have your relationship with another person put under the microscope and to be forced to think about it from the other person's point of view," says Josh, "But the media training I received from 64 Media made me feel a bit more relaxed about the whole process."

Josh was an 18 year old snowboarder with a potential professional career ahead of him when, in 2000, a snowboarding accident on a Victorian ski field left him a complete quadriplegic.

Told he might never get out of bed, Josh and his mother were determined he would walk again. Kay orchestrated a program which brought together Josh's chiropractor, a psychic and a massage therapist and with the help of this unlikely team, Josh walked out of the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre (Victoria) a little over three months later.

Despite recently being told by a spinal surgeon that he has only 5 per cent function in his spinal cord, Josh still snowboards and rides motorbikes. He is also a powerfully motivating and inspirational corporate speaker.

64 Media manages Josh's public relations and corporate speaking bookings and is currently helping him to write a book about his experiences. For more information, click here.
