Speaking on his own Paralympic experiences, Paul uses sport as a platform to look at societies barriers to persons with a disability. Also how recent legislation, Access by Design, is focused on making our society accessible.
Production: Basil Audio-Visual Inc. Sailing since he was ten years old, Paul Tingley was born to be in the water. After a skiing accident at age 24 left him paralyzed from the waist down, Paul made the decision to channel his energies back into his passion-sailing. Despite the rigorous training; his work ethic, competitive spirit, and passion for the sport never wavered. A year after the accident, Paul would return to the water and begin racing competitively.

Tingley has since won three paralympic medals, including Gold in Beijing 2008. He now assists others to become involved in parasport programs and experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
