Mike Shoreman has done it. The Toronto-born man has crossed all five Great Lakes in one summer on a paddleboard.
”It’s been a lot so I’m very emotional, but I’m really happy,” Shoreman said after reaching the northwest shore of Lake Ontario in Toronto on Saturday.
The last time someone completed the journey was in 1988. According to Shoreman and his team, this is the very first time the feat has been accomplished by a person with a disability. Shoreman was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2018, severely impacting his vision, speech and mobility -- bringing his paddleboarding business to a halt.
Shoreman’s resiliency and message rippling through his supporters, and inspiring those who have watched his journey.
