2015 Para PanAm Games

So it's with a very heavy heart and much disappoint that I have to tell you Nathan will not be participating in the Para PanAm Games for Team Canada. He was told over 2 weeks ago via an email that he qualified and would be representing Canada as a member of Team Canada in Toronto but we had to wait until July 29th to announce it. He received a call this morning saying he would not be going after all because the IPC said his T34 class had been pulled due to the fact there were not enough Athletes in this class. Send Nathan some love as he's pretty bummed as we all are! How is he suppose to get better, faster, and win medals if IPC pulls his class.  We had no dought Nathan would have won medals at the games!!  #TeamCanada #IPC #AthleticCanada
