Olympic Snowboarding Legend Shaun White Surprises CAF Athlete Zach Sherman at Woodward Park City
CAF and Olympic snowboarding legend Shaun White orchestrated a special surprise for Zach Sherman, a triple amputee from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The five-time Olympic snowboarding legend met his biggest fan at Woodward Park City for his new lifestyle brand, Whitespace.
Shaun surprised Zach for a snowboard session together and then presented him with a CAF grant for coaching, travel and training expenses so he can pursue his dream of competing in adaptive snowboard competitions.
Zach Sherman, the 35-year-old, red-haired adaptive snowboarder, lost both legs and an arm after a life-threatening motorcycle accident in 2010. Zach has been an avid snowboarder since the late 90’s and claims the sport has been an integral part of his life from a young age.
After several years of developing a set of feet with binding attachments, he has relearned how to snowboard and has been able to improve on the prostheses to become a better adaptive snowboarder.
