WOW! Again, I say, WOW!! It was quite

an honour and an awesome experi-

ence to be Paralympic torchbearer 144.

I was part of the final 24-hour torch re-

lay. The flame was carried by numer-

ous torchbearers around the clock and

ended with the lighng of the large

Paralympic Cauldron at the end of the

opening ceremonies on Friday, March

12th. I met other torchbearers at 11:30

p.m. on Thursday evening. I was in-

formed that I had an addional task todo along with carrying the torch. I’ll say

more about that later.

It was 1:40 a.m.. I saw the flame com-

ing from a block away. I could already

feel the excitement building inside of

me. I held out my torch as the torch-

bearer before me came and stood in

front of me for the ‘kiss of the flame’.

My torch was lit. I now had the flame!

I really had the flame!! We did a ‘high-

five’ and I was on my way heading down

Robson Street. I had the whole street to

myself. I did two doughnut twirls with

my wheelchair in the middle of the in-

tersecon of Robson and Burrard, nor-

mally one of the busiest in downtown

Vancouver. How cool was that? My

experience gets beer - I was selected

with the special task of lighng the 2

a.m. cauldron at Robson Square. It was

lit every two hours throughout the re-

lay. I was among the few that had this

honourable task. I had no idea as to

how overwhelming the experience o

carrying the torch would be. This most

definitely was one of the proudest and

honourable moments of my life.

I was also a volunteer for both the

Olympics and Paralympics. I was a host

for the Olympics and spent most of myme outside of the Waterfront SkyTrain

Staon giving direcons to people to

find the large outdoor Olympic Caul-

dron and various pavilions. It was fun

telling people where to go. I also en

joyed meeng and geng to know

some of the other volunteers that

worked with. I was also a ‘Ceremony

opening ceremonies. My involvement

with the opening ceremonies began in

December. It was cool to see the vari-

ous parts of the show develop and come

together. We had to keep the content

of the show a secret. I have to say thatit was sooo hard to stay quiet for sooo

long. I hope you agree with me when I

say what an awesome show!

Many have said that hosng the Olym-

pics and Paralympics would be a once

in a lifeme experience. This rings so

very true for me. I have been pleasantly

surprised at how profound this experi-

ence has been. The ‘awe factor’ came

to me during the Olympics when Alex-

andre Bilodeau won the first Canadiangold medal on Canadian soil. I was really

touched and moved by the strong rela-

onship he has with his brother, Frederic,

who has cerebral palsy. It is a refreshing

reminder that many families with cere-

bral palsy doflourish and the work we do

as an Associaon is very worthwhile. The

two brothers truly live CPABC’s mission

statement - both raise awareness about

CP, connue to reach for their highest

potenal and are realizing their place asequals in our diverse society. Their broth-

erly embrace on the ski hill, afer Alex’s

golden run, for me, bridged the two set

of games together. It was then that I real-

ized that the Olympics and Paralympics

are more than just sports.

As a torchbearer, I was truly touched and

moved by the spirit of the games. With

the help of a close friend, I was able to

purchase the torch. With this torch, Inow off er to share this spirit with you all.

I can be available if you would like to see

and even touch the torch. The torch sll

holds the power of the flame and always

will.

Your President,

Craig Langston

Dear CPABC,Thanks so much for deciding to pick me for this

year’s bursary. It means so much to me. I’ve de-

cided to buy a computer laptop and a printer for

my work experience class at Kwantlen Polytechnic

University in Langley to update my resume and to

do class projects. Eventually when this course is

done I would like to move out into an apartment

to allow me to become more independent. I would

also like to have a career that is right for me. This

money is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Angela Schuster

Dear CPABC,

I am very honoured to have been chosen for th

Cerebral Palsy Tanabe Bursary and want to than

you from the bo om of my heart. I currently wor

part-t me at SilverCity Movie Theatre and upo

graduat on from BCIT’s Digital Animat on Pro

gram, I plan to work with a friend who is present

direct ng his fi rst fi lm.. I am hopeful in fi nding job in an animat on posi t on, hopefully with Pixa

Disney or Electronic Arts. The road ahead of m

isn’t clear, but I will face any challenges head on and with con fi dence. I

never give up. No ma er what disabili t es we have, we can st ll achiev

our lifelong dreams and goals through hard work and perseverance.

TO RAISE . TO REACH . TO REALIZ

ow sasfying to find CPABC’s Dis-

bility Awareness Presentaons for El-

mentary Schools are having a real im-

act on the way youngsters perceive a

erson who has a disability!

he following excerpts were takenrom leers sent to Tammy and PADS

ervice Dog, Breeze, from grades

our and five at Annieville Elementary

chool in Delta, afer their January

0th presentaon there.

I never knew that cerebral palsy was

brain injury and it a ff ects your mus-

les. I learned there is always a way to

et past barriers, like going through,

round, over, and under.”

“I learned how (Paci fi c Assistance Ser-

vice Dog) Breeze helps you with the

lights and with cooking.”

“It’s cool that you get to use cool ma-

chines.”

“Just because you look di ff erent on theoutside it doesn’t mean anything on

the inside.”

“You really encouraged me to look at

things di ff erently.”

It’s grafying to read comments like

these. They indicate that our message

is geng through to young people.

Kids love the real-life stories about

geng around physical barriers and

giving them the opportunity to inter-

act with a real person who has a dis-

ability is key to promong inclusion

and removing atudinal barriers for

the next generaon.

Finally – PADS Service Dog Breeze,

the Golden Retriever, is amazing but don’t let her help with the cooking!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ANNIEVILLE

The Cerebral Palsy Associaon of BC’s

(CPABC) Speaker’s Bureau provides

informave and engaging presenta-

ons to schools, clubs, businesses,

organizaons, and other groups. This

crucial service off ers informaon on a

variety of topics pertaining to cp, from

disability awareness to aeology.

The Elementary School Disability

Awareness Presentaon Program con-

nues to gain ground. This past year,

Tammy & PADS Service Dog Breeze

the golden retriever have visited 17

elementary schools in the Metro

Vancouver area with their message

of disability as just another aspect of

human diversity.

Elementary school-age kids are very

open to learning how to help their

peers, and to looking at disability in a

diff erent light. Tammy’s stories about

growing up as a normal kid who hap-

pened to have cp helps students to

get the point, as demonstrated by

some of their quesons.

The Grade 4 class at Annieville Ele-

mentary School in Delta, for instance,

wanted to know what sports Tammy

played as a youngster; they wanted to

know more about her job; they asked

thought ul quesons about how she

manages diff erent daily acvies,

and of course they wanted to know

how PADS Service Dog Breeze makes

her life easier.

Tammy and PADS Service Dog Breeze

will be at several Surrey schools in

March and April, including Bey Huff ,

Cindrich, and Coast Meridian.

Join her at the Vancouver School

Board’s Post-Secondary Transion In-

formaon Forum on March 29 at the

Vancouver Board of Educaon Centre,

1580 West Broadway in Vancouver

from 3:30 pm to 7:00pm, and at Lan-

gara College’s Disability Awareness

Day “Abilies Unlimited” taking place

at Langara College on April 13 from

10:00am to 2:30 pm. Tammy will

also be aending a Transion Fair for

students with developmental disabili-

es and their parents or caregivers

Cerebral Palsy Associaon of BC joined

all of Canada in congratulang Alexan-

dre Bilodeau, Canada’s first Olympic

athlete to win Gold on Canadian soil.

Alexandre’s brother Frederic, one of

over 50,000 Canadians with cerebral

palsy, is also one of the millions of Ca-

nadians cheering for our athletes.

The generous spirit of the Olympic

Games recognized the hard work,

dedicaon, and commitment of world-

class athletes, and of the supports

behind them – families and friendsall over the world, with and without

disabilies, with and without cerebral

palsy.

People who have cerebral palsy are

just like people who don’t have cere-

bral palsy in many ways – we might be

lucky enough to have Olympic cham-

pions for brothers and sisters, and

we might be Olympic champions our-

selves.

CPABC president Craig Langston stated,

“the Quebec brothers’ story speaks of

inclusion. Part of our mission st

ment is to raise awareness, to r

our potenal and to realize ourse

as equals in society, I think Alex

Frederic live that.”

Craig Langston- who has cerebral p

said, ”When you saw them embrac

the end, it was just two brothers s

ing that moment, and you didn’tthe disability.”

Bravo, Alexandre Bilodeau!

To assist those living with Cere•

Bilodeau Brothers



TO RAISE . TO REACH . TO REALIZ

We have two sons, Michael and Nicho-s. Nicholas has special needs. I can’t

ay when Mike realized that his young-r brother had special needs. Mike did

ot ask quesons but kept his thoughtso himself. One of my favorite pictures

where Mike is feeding Nick. Mikemust have been four and Nick three. It

obvious that Mike did not realize yethat his younger brother had specialeeds. As me went by, I think Mikeesented the fact that Nick was nonerbal because he could not communi-ate with him.

When Mike was seven we lived in Bei-ng, China. I remember his grade twoeacher calling me and saying she waso sorry. She had no idea that Mikead a brother with special needs. Isked her how she found out. She ex-ained that she was teaching her class

he emergency procedures incase of an earthquake – not to stand

nder doors, to go under tables, etc.hen Mike asked her what to do withs lile brother. “Well”, she said, “hest does what you do, right?” Mike

oked at her like what a silly thing toay and said, “My brother can’t walk,un or talk; so in case of an earth-uake, what do I do with him?” Sheas speechless.

When Mike turned 11 and Christmasas approaching, he asked for a spe-al present – a baby brother. He hadfen menoned wanng a nice pair of oller-skates so I was a bit surprised byhe request.

Me: “So you want a baby brother

or Christmas?”Mike: “Yes. That is what I want.”Me: “Hmm. Well, you know it take

bout nine months to make a baby;o it won’t be here on me for Christ-

mas.”My son was at the age when kids don’t

elieve in Santa Clause anymore. Heso had not figured out how long it

akes for babies to come.Mike: “Oh?” (He thinks for a lile

hile.) “It’s okay, I can wait.”

Me: “And you know, you wish for ababy brother, but it could be a baby sis-ter.”Mike: “Oh?” (Again he thinks for a lit-tle while. Isn’t life complicated some-mes?) “Well, she is going to pull myhair and scream. I really would rather

have a baby brother.”Me: “Mike, I can’t tell for sure, it couldbe a lile girl – nobody can tell thosethings for sure.”Mike: “Oh well…I guess it’s okay.”Me: “And you know, he or she couldalso be special needs, like Nick. Wealso can’t be sure about those things.”Mike looks up, his eyes wide with dis-belief, “Really Mom. How can it bepossible?”I sigh, my heart feeling heavy. “Mikeit’s one of those things. It may or maynot happen but I can’t tell you for surethat the baby you wish for will be nor-mal. Those things can happen.”Mike remains silent for a long while,sighs again and says, “Then no, I don’twant anybody. I don’t want anotherbrother like Nick. I want a real brother.Can I get roller- skates then?”I let out a sigh of relief but at the sameme felt so sad for my lile boy who

did not have the brother he wishesfor.Now at 22, Mike sees his brother fromme to me – mostly at family din-ners. We always did our best not toput on him the burden of looking aferhis brother. Did we do that too well,maybe? Should we have had him moreinvolved? It is difficult for parents toknow the right thing to do with sib-lings. I usually find that we go fromone extreme to the other. We ask too

much or not enough. Some parentsgive too much aenon to the specialneeds child thus neglecng the needsof the other children or their partner.There is a song tled, “The Life thathas Chosen Me”. It sings of the dreamchild all parents expect and how theirlife is shaered when a special child ar-rives. It speaks of how much parentsgo through and how important it isthat their family and friends accept the

new member of their family.

When Nick graduated from high schooMike, again, put us to the test of faparenng. He said Nick ought to movout. I was aghast. Mike insisted would be good for Nick and good fous, afer all Mike himself lef to live ocampus, didn’t he?

“Yes,” I said, “but, but…surely you understand that Nick has diff erent, muchigher needs?”“Well”, my son declared, “you can takcare of his needs in his own place, canyou? You should at least give it a try.”I believe my son, Mike, was older thahis years. We followed his advice at great financial cost. We could not really aff ord it and our rerement savings went into this venture but wwere willing to try. I went and hirea live-in-caregiver to live with Nick anwe looked in our neighbourhood foa wheelchair accessible two bedroomapartment. I could let my special chilgo but he had to live as close as possible. We were lucky. There was a vacancy ten blocks away from our placeIt was a lot of work to organize Nicklife away from us.It has been a year now and my husbanand myself have been happy empt

nesters ever since! Nicholas comes tour place once or twice a week anwe go to his. If someone were to teus that Nick was coming back to livwith us we would say, “No way!” If his sick I will go to his place, stay therand cook him chicken soup. I shall dwhatever every loving mother wouldo if her 21 year old is sick, but Nicis not moving back in with us. Yehe is very vulnerable but parents canot protect their children forever. W

need to put safeguards in place as beswe can and trust our community ansociety for the rest. In spite of Nickdisabilies, he has as normal a life acan be with friends, acvies and outreach volunteer work. I truly believthat most parents would wish thechild with special needs to have a nomal life outside the family home. This a dream that requires eff ort, creavity and adequate support from govern

ment, but it can come true.

SNOW TIRES!PRINTED, WITH PERMISSION,

FROM GIZMO NEWSLETTER

WINTER 2010

Snow is a constant problem for wheel-

chair users. Even afer roads and path-

ways have supposedly been cleared,

there are great mounds of ice and

slush to negoate. Wheelchairs just

were not designed to handle obstacles

like this, unl London, ON, Tetra vol-

unteer Joe Ruitenbeek came along. He

had been approached by a client who

had had enough of feeling trapped

indoors every me it snowed—and it

snows a fair deal in that part of the

world—because his power chair could

not make it across neighbourhood

sidewalks. Inventors have created off -

road power chairs complete with cat-

erpillar tracks, but the client, Bill Birch,

required a machine that was equally

at home on carpets and hardwood

floors. What he needed was snow

res, said Ruitenbeek. His first aempt

was to add extra tread to the exisng

res on Birch’s mid-wheel drive Jazzy

wheelchair. “I took extra res and cu

strips out, so they looked like a heavy

rubber re, and tried to put them ove

the exisng res,” he explained. “But

just couldn’t get it to stretch enough to

go over the original re. “But I found

a fellow that handles an array of res

I found a re with a heavy tread, de

signed for a roto-ller.” The new re

increased the overall wheel diamete

by three inches. This, of course, raised

the chair one-and-a-half inches off the

ground, requiring Ruitenbeek to move

the fenders and lower the front an

p wheels by the same amount.

Do you need to overcome a barrier?
