Isaiah moves for the best version of himself
“Find an activity you enjoy. Being healthy is the most important thing — you never know what opportunities it can create.”
For Isaiah, movement has always been more than physical activity — it’s purpose. At just nine years old, he discovered wheelchair racing, and what started as curiosity grew into a lifelong passion that continues to shape his identity as a para athlete.
Today, Isaiah’s training is rigorous: four to five sessions a week with a mix of distance work, intervals, and speed drills. Each workout is designed to push his performance and bring him closer to his dream of representing Canada at the Paralympic Games. Over the past 22 years, he has raced at three ParaPan Am Games, earning a bronze medal in Mexico (2011), competing on home soil in Toronto (2015), and finishing just off the podium in Santiago (2023). He is also a multi-time Canadian National Champion across the 100m, 200m, and 400m events.
Isaiah’s journey embodies the power of adaptive sports inspiration. Alongside wheelchair racing, he has played sledge hockey and wheelchair basketball, proving that sport is not only about medals, but about resilience, growth, and joy.
Still, the path hasn’t always been easy. He’s faced medical setbacks and the heartbreak of losing his first coach — a mentor who not only shaped him as an athlete, but “helped me become the person that I am today, always having great life advice.” Yet with the unwavering support of teammates, coaches, and family, he continues to move forward, committed to the pursuit of excellence.
Isaiah also champions the idea of an inclusive fitness movement, believing that physical activity for people with disabilities should be accessible and celebrated. “It’s important for everyone to find an activity they enjoy,” he says. “Being healthy is the most important thing — you never know what opportunities your activity can open up down the road.”
His story is a testament to the power of authentic storytelling — proof that real voices in storytelling in content marketing can shift perspectives, break stereotypes, and show the world what movement truly looks like.
