I can't believe what I have achieved. I’m so proud to have made history as one of the first triathletes to compete in the Paralympic Games, all performed on the stunning back drop of Copacabana beach...The belief and generosity of the Foundation charged me to reach that finish line as fast as I could, and I will be forever thankful.
