READ JACK'S PROFILE

Swift lost his lower right leg in a workplace accident three years ago. He credits the support of his family and friends, as well as an increased focus on health and fitness for helping him deal with the depression he endured. "These days I don't take anything for granted," he says. "I'm happy as soon as I wake up in the morning." Currently studying P.E. teaching while working as a personal trainer, Swift hopes to one day run the 200 and 400 metres at the Paralympics.
