I am a disabled athlete born
with Spina Bifida, a
congential birth defect resulting in an incomplete
closure of the spine. In my case it left me partially
paralyzed from the waist down. In spite of this
disability I have been very active in sports with my
first exposure through swimming as a child. As an adult my athletic abilities have taken me to heights I only dreamed of when I was younger. First as a wheelchair racer traveling the world competing, then as a swimmer competing in 1992 Paralympic Games in Barcelona, Spain and the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, earning a total of 4 medals. Gold (world record), Silver, and 2 Bronze Medals. Join
me as I share my experiences. |
