ABOUT AN ORDINARY MAN, DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
During fitness training near his hometown in June 1988, John Maclean was hit by an 8-tonne truck as he rode his bike. The impact resulted in John suffering multiple breaks to his pelvis and back, a fractured sternum, punctured lungs, a broken arm, and left John a paraplegic. It took astonishing courage and determination, but somehow this near-fatal accident was the making of him.
Despite the grief of what he had lost, the excruciating physical pain and the challenges of daily life in a wheelchair, John decided he would become bigger and stronger than ever. He set about proving himself in the toughest sporting events the world had to offer.
In 1995 John made history by becoming the first wheelchair athlete to finish the course at world's toughest multi-discipline sporting event – the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. Many more sporting challenges have followed, with John having gone on to be the first wheelchair athlete to swim the English channel, competing in multiple sports at the Paralympic games. Rowing Silver Medallist in Beijing Paralympic Games 2008 and completing the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
In 2013 John embarked on his most extraordinary transformation to date, leaving the wheels behind and learning to walk again.
