WASA Celebrates Travis Murao, Representing Team Canada in Paris

We’re counting down the days to see one of our friends and adaptive athletes soar at the 2024 Paralympic Summer Games in Paris this summer. He will be playing Wheelchair Rugby for Canada!

From Team Canada’s Site:

Travis Murao was introduced to wheelchair rugby by Duncan Campbell, one of the inventors of the sport. He started playing while still in G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Hospital and quickly became hooked on the intellectual side of the sport.

Murao is known for his sense of humour and his love of reading. He’s blogged about wheelchair rugby and starred in the humorous web series “Wheelchair Rugby Talk with Trev n’ Trav” with his teammate Trevor Hirschfield.

Murao’s passion for both English Literature and wheelchair rugby took him to Tucson where he studied English at the University of Arizona and won a US Quad Rugby Association national championship title with the Tucson Pterodactyls. The four-time Paralympian resides in Toronto dedicating his time to training and improving his game.

Good luck Travis! We are so proud of you.
