About Wings With Wheels Founder Alex Juneau

At the heart of Wings With Wheels is founder Alex Juneau, a T-2 paraplegic, van life enthusiast, paragliding pilot, and paramotor pilot who has overcome extraordinary personal challenges. Following his spinal cord injury, Alex faced not only the physical realities of paralysis but also the emotional struggles of PTSD and suicidal thoughts.

Aviation became much more than a hobby—it became a lifeline. Through the freedom of flight, Alex rediscovered purpose, hope, and connection. His story serves as a powerful reminder that every life matters and that one flight can inspire confidence, healing, and a renewed outlook on life.

This clinic is made possible through the generosity of donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Registration is required, and participant spaces for instructional tandem flights are limited.
