Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray Featured I'll Push You — 500 Miles, Two Best Friends, and One Wheelchair

Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray are lifelong friends with a hunger for adventure. Despite a debilitating disease taking away most of Justin's ability to move, the two live without reservation.

Their incredible wheelchair journey, known as I’ll Push You, is a testament to this.

They tackled the impossible — a 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago through Spain — Patrick pushing Justin in a wheelchair. While Patrick, and others, physically pushed Justin the distance, Justin pushed Patrick, mentally and emotionally, beyond fear and insecurity, into a whole new world of joy and freedom. And now, they partner with businesses and organizations around the globe, equipping them with the tools to do the same.

Using powerful, emotional, and often hilarious storytelling, the two use their unique insights to help individuals and teams discover their full potential.
