KENNY HERRIOT Wheelchair Athlete and Motivational Speaker |
|
There is no other athlete in Aberdeen, Scotland with an international profile as high as Kenny's. He is recognized as one of the world’s top wheelchair athletes in his category. Kenny has only been competing since 2001, but each year he has improved in all the distances that he competes in. His training regime consists of 6 days on 1 day off, 300 miles a week. This intense training is preparing for The Great Lemon Ride. Kenny is highly motivated and sets himself high standards. This has enabled him to rise to the top of his sport exceptionally quickly. Kenny was a successful fitness teacher, boxer, and manager when he suffered a freak motorcycle accident in July 2000 which left him paralyzed from the waist down. However, he was determined to regain his fitness and independence. He took up wheelchair racing in 2001. In an amazingly short period he has risen to the top echelons of the sport, taking all Scottish records from 400m to the marathon, and the British marathon record. He has been voted Aberdeen's sportsman of the year three times. His experiences and attitude to life have led him to motivational speaking, visiting schools, charities, and companies with a positive message about life. |
