GIVE BACK
Worked with Keziah HEPPNER, a nine-year-old swimmer who also has cerebral palsy, in April 2017. "I find it very important for me to raise people’s awareness about the Paralympic movement any chance I get. Even if my story touches one young person and gets them involved in sport, that’s very meaningful to me." (globalnews.ca, 12 Apr 2017)
