Paraplegia is my destiny, a mountain bike crash the cause.
Skiing is my passion, challenging myself daily keeps me going.
Switzerland is where I grew up, competing with the Top of the World my goal.

The pessimist complains about the wind,
the optimist expects it to change,
the realist adjusts the sails.
