Sometimes setbacks can led to meeting great people

August was an interesting month. I did lots of Kayaking and trained hard for the ParaSports Games in Sarnia. After months of training, I was mentally focused and fit for the Sarnia Games.

But sometimes, you can be fit and ready yet still something goes wrong. I started the ParaSports Games with a 200m sprint. I had an awesome start but when I rounded the corner, I felt a pop in my groin and that was the end of my day for racing.

Sometimes setbacks can led to meeting great people. Being at the ParaSports Games gave the opportunity to meet lots of great athletes and coaches from all over. I even met lots of people from the Blind Sports organization. If I weren’t for my surprise injury I wouldn’t have met these wonderful people.

I now will take a month off to recover and get ready for the speed skating season.

Stay tuned!

Good news: two new pairs of hearing aids will be going to Nicaragua next month, two boys for the first time will have a normal hearing life. In Oct a girl will get a new set of hearing aids in Cancun. I have a few presentations coming up in the next few months.
