Welcome everyone! --to the NEW blog for "Won with One".

My name is Ryan Van Praet, i am a co-manager of the team, and also one of it's athletes. You will mostly be hearing from me, so i hope you can endure my ramblings.
Our team is full of capable, talented and inspiring athletes...don't tell us we "can't" do something, and don't feel sorry for us.. we are out to show the world that para-athletes should be viewed and treated as equals in life and in sport. Watch for us in 2011, tearing up the race course across Canada and the rest of North America.
Won with One is a program which is focused on the personal development of the blind and visually impaired person using triathlon as the catalyst for change. We are dedicated to empowering individuals via sport through our development program and supporting our elite level athletes to achieve a slot on the Paralympic team in 2016. We are a team that is focused on showing the abilities of the blind and how we should be regarded as equals in sport and in life.
