We are proud to support PowerHockey and our many para-athletes across Canada. Here we are with the Ottawa Capitals who won the 2019 event held in Toronto. We look forward to the next one in 2021!
24 days / 1,200 km – Courage to Advance
From August 15 to September 8, 2017, Julien Racicot, paralyzed from his shoulders down to his toes following a serious spinal cord injury, journeyed from Gaspé to Montreal in a Permobil F5 power wheelchair. Using only his head to steer the wheelchair, he traveled more than 1,200 kilometers. Julien’s goal was to raise awareness for the cause of the spinal cord injured, as well as to raise funds through donations in order to positively transform the lives of many people.
Permobil Canada was thrilled to sponsor Julien on his journey. And what an extreme test for one of our chairs – travelling 1,200 kms in 24 days over all manner of roads and highways, and in all kinds of weather! Julien’s chair faced it all and powered through.
