Jothy Rosenberg underwent an above knee amputation due to osteosarcoma, is a cancerous (malignant) bone tumor, in 1973. Then, three years later, the cancer metastasized in his lung and forty percent of the lung had to be removed. Jothy is with us to day probably due to the 1976 chemotherapy courses, which were only recently made available. That’s a very rough start and one that would have profound effect on most. However, Jothy went on to get a PhD in computer science, author two technical books and become founder of six high tech companies. Ok, so Jothy’s a smart guy, but there are lots of smart people with that have overcome adversity. That’s true until you consider the rest of Jothy’s achievements.

Jothy also rode in the Pan-Masscahusetts Challenge bike-a-thon supporting the Dana-Farber cancer institute seven times, swam from Alcatraz to San Francisco supporting Boston Healthcare for the Homeless sixteen times and participated in other sports and fundraising activities. Not bad for a one legged athlete with diminished lung capacity! Jothy’s latest endeavor is a book and associated blog entitled “Who Says I Can’t”, where Jothy shares his life experiences. The book and blog are a great source of inspiration and hope.
