Derek Stevens, a 38-year-old professional athlete, embarked on an ambitious journey to paddle-board across Canada's five Great Lakes, despite being disabled from a spinal cord injury. With determination and a custom-made paddle-board that accommodates his wheelchair, Stevens set out to raise awareness and inspire others with disabilities. His journey encompassed thousands of kilometers of open water, challenging weather conditions, and physical obstacles, but Stevens persevered, proving that anything is possible with resilience and support.
