On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with a Para Athletics Team Canada track and field star Nate Riesh.

He comes from a family of gifted elite athletes and for Nate, it wasn’t any different. He excelled in baseball and his future in the sport looked bright, but suddenly a golf accident took that away.

Nate was paralyzed on his right side but after years of therapy, he found running. He now competes on the world stage as a 800 and 1500meter runner but if not for the support of family and friends, he would not be where he is today. (His words, not ours).
