Marc Andre Belliveau

By Conor E

 

 

Marc Andre was a dominant big mountain skier

Then tragedy stuck on April 3, 2006

Marc Andre fell while skiing a line

Sending him tumbling down into the rocks

He permanently damaged his spine

Leaving him paralyzed

The ski world was shocked at the news

No one could believe that this icon would

Never be able to ski again.

Foundations were set up

Skiers rallied around him

Everyone hoped for the best

The truth was hard to swallow

But Marc Andre stayed strong

Even though he will never ski again

He continues to fight on and

Live life to the fullest
