The Paralympics 

Brad Johnson's events in the Paralympics are sailing and sitting volleyball. He currently lives in Florida where he works as an attorney. He also works with The Hartford, founding sponsor of U.S. Paralympics, using his experience and success - in sport and at work - to help positively change public attitudes and perceptions toward disability.

April Holmes events in the Paralympics are track and field. She has created the April Holmes Foundation to further opportunities for individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. Through her determination, winning spirit and accomplishments, she embodies The Hartford's belief that the sky's the limit when we focus on an individual's abilities, instead of on his or her perceived physical limitations.
