<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>About Jimmy<\/h2>\n
Jimmy Pelletier became paraplegic after a car accident in 1996, he was only 19 years old. During recovery and after several months of rehabilitation, he envisioned himself becoming a paralympic athlete. His love of sports gave him the will and courage to persevere and try something new, to challenge himself. Mission accomplished, he competed in the Torino 2006 Paralympic Games in cross-country skiing, and was also a member of the Canadian hand cycling race bike team.<\/p>\n
Since the end of his competitive athletic career, Jimmy has made sporting events and challenges a means of supporting causes that are important to him. In 2018, he became only the second in the world to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro using an adaptive mountain bike.<\/p>\n<\/div>
