Ben Brown

Ben Brown is the definition of hard work, perseverance and determination. Injured in an unfortunate ATV accident in 2006 Ben lives life from a wheel chair but he hasn’t let that slow him down in the slightest. In fact, Ben is on the move more than most people that still use their own legs.

Off the quad, Ben competes in sanctioned wheelchair races and on the quad he’s raced several Canadian series and makes it to a handful of AMA National events.  If you follow the sport at all you’ve probably already seen his face in a magazine or on one of the many industry news sites as he is a testimony to never giving up.
