Adam Wakeford, New Zealand Paralympian

Adam made his Paralympic Games debut at Beijing 2008 in Wheelchair rugby as part of the Wheel Blacks team who finished 5th. His passion for the game that is commonly known as murderball due to its physicality, has continued off the court in his role as a committee member of NZ Wheelchair Rugby.
