Interesting and inspiring talk by Malcolm Tarkenter who is chairman of the abritish Paralympic basketball association. More details can be found at their website http://gbwba.org.uk
Many thanks to Malcolm who inspired us with his courage and perseverance. Thirty-eight years ago at the age of seventeen years Malcolm faced a devastating spinal injury after a ladder fall. As part of his rehabilitation, he was introduced to wheelchair basketball and from this painful beginning developed a life of success. We followed his career with interest as he told us his honours ........ World Silver 1994, European Gold 1995, Paralympic Silver 1996 and European Silver 1997.
