Impairment
He was involved in a cycling accident while training for a triathlon in 2003. He spent six months in rehabilitation. "After my accident I was paralysed from the waist down for two-and-a-half years. Now I am standing and walking. I don't know what the end result will be but I keep getting better. I stay open-minded." (straight.com, 11 Mar 2010; paralympic.ca, 01 Mar 2010)
