I have to admit I didn't get a chance to watch much of the paralympics but I do think it was an inspiring event.
Seeing former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan ride the zip line at Robson Square with Rick Mercer was inspiring.
The Vancouver Province ran a couple of amusing cartoons about the paralympics illustrating how many people with physical challenges are more active and more able than many without who are just plain lazy.
Terry Fox was a prime example as is Rick Hansen, both from BC. These are the kind of people that make us proud. If the theme of the 2010 Paralympics has been the one inspiring the many, then these individuals have indeed inspired us all.
