I was born on 2 March 1990. My parents got devorced when I was at the age of 3.  I attended Paarl boys High school from grade I to matric.  I had my accident on a motorbike in my matric year, which left my sporting dreams shattered, but at the same time opened other doors in disability sports. I am an outgoing spontaneous person always ready for a challenge.

Specification: "ATHLETE NAME: Glenn Ward, (21) SPORT: Athletics, bodybuilding and handcycling BIRTHPLACE: Paarl CURRENT RESIDENCE: Paarl".

BIO: I was born in 1974 in a small town in the Eastern Cape called Uitenhage. I was a scholar at Despatch High school and if you know anything about rugby, you would know that it was the capital “city” of rugby in South Africa. In 1993 my final year of schooling, I was involved in a motorbike accident and damaged the brachial plexus nerve system of my left arm.  For the next 2 years I was in and out of hospitals in Pretoria.  I went for 2 operations were the doctor removed nerves from my calves and transplanted these into my arm in an attempt to reconnect the nerves. After countless physiotherapeutic sessions and a lot of hard work I managed to restore about 10-15% of the use of my left arm. I’m married to Michelle for 14 years now with 2 Border Collies as kids.
