Joe Kalsecz, a distinguished athlete, committed to fighting illness
Joe Kalsecz, a paraplegic athlete, has achieved many feats to raise awareness among the general public, the media, and professionals about medical research on the spinal cord.
A competitor at heart, he recently traveled from Le Havre to Menton in seven months using pendular walking and participated, among others, in the “No Finish Line” in Monaco and the Marathon of Alpes-Maritimes in a hand-bike.
