The unexpected friendship between a teenager and a Canadian hero
Rick Hansen encouraged Trent Seymour after the young man was paralysed in an accident.


Trent Seymour was a rising fastball star until a bad injury in a hunting accident left him paralyzed.

When the teen was recovering in the hospital, Canadian Paralympian and activist Rick Hansen came to visit him.
The two discovered they had a lot in common, so the friendship continued along with Trent's recovery.
Two years later, they're still close, and Rick has played a big role in Trent's future career path.
