T-Base Communications Inc., a North
American provider of alternate format communication services, announces its
support of deaf-blind speed skater Kevin Frost in his ambition to become
Canada's first Paralympic speed skating gold medallist. Despite his
disability, Kevin aspires to earn deaf-blind speed skating a recognized class
in Paralympic sport and to be one of the first to compete.
Mr. Frost, who developed Usher Syndrome at an early age - a rare genetic
disorder that causes progressive hearing and vision loss - dreams of turning
speed skating into a world class Paralympic event that can be enjoyed by fans around the globe. "My dream of being a winning Olympic Speed Skater doesn't stop at coming home with a gold medal. It goes on to support others by raising awareness and inspiring those who have a disability," said Kevin Frost.
T-Base Communications provides Kevin with various communication materials
in alternate formats such as his business cards in braille. "We are thrilled
to be associated with such a talented and ambitious individual who is so
passionate about his goals", says Sharlyn Ayotte, President and CEO of T-Base Communications Inc. "It exemplifies the drive for success and commitment in the spirit that T-Base was built on," adds Ayotte.
