The most amazing stroy from the Paralympics

There were plenty of amazing stories from the Paralympics. However, for me the story of injured Australian soldier Curtis McGrath is the most inspiring.

From losing his legs in an IED explosion, McGrath, a combat engineer, has won gold coin canoeing – beating a six-time world champion in the process.

Vale, Brian Trouville.

Brian Trouville died last week. “Spadge”, as he was affectionately known, was one of Asutralia’s leading surf ski and kayak coaches.

 

He coached Olympians and national surf champions, including Grant Kenny, and beginner paddlers. Everyone was welcome and treated equally.

 

Above all, Brian was a lovely man who walked through life with a smile on his face and kinds words for all.

 

I will miss him.
