His grandmother passed away on the day that he began university in 2020. He had promised her that he would compete at the Paralympic Games. "I've always had different reasons of why I've raced, but in this past year [speaking in 2021], there's always been the addition of mom [his grandmother]. I want to be able to do well for her memory and be able to kind of honour the promise that I made to her." (ny.milesplit.com, 12 Jun 2019; wnep.com, 08 Jul 2021)
