Donovan Tildesley was often heard on Mountain FM years ago during the morning show and he is also one of Canada’s most decorated Paralympic Swimmers. A few years ago I had the pleasure to ski a few runs with this man and what a great guy as well as athlete. At the age of 16, he earned a bronze medal at the 2000 Paralympic Games int he 200m individual medley. His prowess in the pool was further established when he went on to win 5 Golds at the 2002 World Championships, 2 Silvers and a Bronze at the 2004 Paralympic Games and 5 Gold Medals at the 2007 Para-Pan American Games.
As a blind Athlete, Donovan has learned the value of team work in overcoming challenges in life. Donovan has suppored BC Children’s Hospital through his fraternity’s annual fundraiser and this year wanted to go a step further by becoming a part of the Miracle Maker Panel.
