That same relentless, against-all-odds spirit defines Joey's journey. After losing his beloved cat Winter to chronic kidney disease, he turned grief into action, riding a OneWheel nearly 4,000 miles from California to Maine in 2025 to raise awareness and funding for feline CKD and cancer research.The cross-country trek became CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind, a documentary chronicling determination, resilience, and purpose. But Joey's mission is far from over. He continues to push the limits in pursuit of raising $1 million for cats, including a world-record attempt and a benefit event on September 19 in Glendale benefiting Every Cat Health Foundation. It's a story of loss transformed into hope, and proof that one person, armed with passion and perseverance, can inspire a movement.
