Athlete Spotlight: Ben Robinson, part of the P506 Moncton junior and senior level program for Parasport NB🙌
As someone with a physical disability and always struggling to keep up to my peers in athletic settings, it’s hard to express how amazing it feels to get to be a key contributor to Team NB’s wheelchair basketball team. The fact that I get to do this with my twin brother (who is able-bodied) makes it even more special. It is crucial in a small province like NB that those without disabilities participate as we need as many participants as possible. For anyone thinking of getting involved with Parasport in NB, don’t hesitate and just do it. You won’t regret it!

Athlète en vedette : Ben Robinson, membre du programme P506 de Moncton aux niveaux junior et senior pour Parasport NB🙌
En tant que personne ayant un handicap physique et ayant toujours de la difficulté à suivre ses pairs dans un contexte athlétique, il est difficile d'exprimer à quel point je me sens bien de pouvoir contribuer de façon importante à l'équipe de basket-ball en fauteuil roulant d'Équipe N.-B. Le fait que je puisse le faire avec mon frère jumeau (qui est non handicapé) rend la chose encore plus spéciale. Dans une petite province comme le Nouveau-Brunswick, il est essentiel que les personnes non handicapées participent, car nous avons besoin du plus grand nombre possible de participants. Si vous songez à vous impliquer dans Parasport au N.-B., n'hésitez pas et faites-le. Vous ne le regretterez pas!
