T-Base Communications is backing deaf-blind speed skater Kevin Frost into 2007 in support of his goal to become one of the first to compete in the Paralympic games and will also become an ambassador for T-Base in 2007, an appropriate role for such an extraordinary competitor.
Mr. Frost competed in 7 short track races last October in the 1st Eastern
Ability Regional competition for the Ottawa Pacers Speed Skating Club in
Kanata, Ontario. He qualified in 4 "A" finals winning two bronze medals, just
.022 seconds shy of the silver at the Masters Level.
"I am thrilled at the support I have been receiving from T-Base. It's a
significant boost in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for people with
disabilities and in competitive sport at a high level" said Kevin Frost.
T-Base Communications provides Mr. Frost with various communication
materials in alternate formats such as his business cards in braille. "We
believe our support of Kevin's endeavors is fundamental in demonstrating how
alternate formats meet diverse needs for access to information," says Sharlyn
Ayotte, president and CEO of T-Base Communications.
The sponsorship kicks off a new year where fans will have a chance to see
Kevin Frost in action as he competes Olympic style in long track this month at
the following dates and locations:
