Jon Wilson
Jon Wilson didn’t let losing his leg to cancer in 2006 get him down. In fact, he found a renewed love for cycling and a passion for sharing the sport with others. Wilson grinds up and speeds down the country roads and rolling hills of southern Vermont’s Green Mountains while pedaling with one leg. The race organizer and teacher began the Always Keep Pedaling Foundation, which connects young adult cancer survivors in financial need with adaptive and adventure sports. Wilson is the inspiring subject of Ascend (Mountainfilm 2017).
