Hi Sean, just thought id say hi, we used to race BMX around the north east at the same time, mind i was the year above you, was talking to a guy from one of the waterskiing charities last night who was raising money at a concert at kneller hall, i mentioned to him that Lisa Wright had told me about what you had achieved and he said he had been skiing with you. Anyway it got me thinking and i Googled you this morning. Well done with all your achievements mate, and good luck at the olympics! Mark.

Hi Sean, I was at Finningley same time as you on the Nav School, however I am a PEdO. Spent some time in Winterpark and got involved with disabled skiing. I remember you from the Gym, I actuallly ran the canoe club at the time. Sorry to hear about your disability but you have shown true courage and determination to do what you have. My career has gone down the AT line. OC JSMTC Ballachulish, OC Grantown etc now a RAF full time reservist at the Universities of Glasgow & Strathclyde Air Sqn as the Adjutant and working as a part time Mountain Guide and Ski Instructor. Well done on your achievments mate you are what the RAF still need as a PTI.
Great news on the world cup medal mate - Good luck in the World Championships .

Sean mate...I've somewhat been hiding under a stone for the past few years. I wouldn't presume to patronize you or bore you with the issues I dealt with because they are completely insignificant compared to what you've dealt with. I burst with pride whenever I read about you and I look at the pictures from those o'so eventful years we shared with joy. You absolutely metamorphisied the Hebrides from mere Isands to a playground for me buddy and we flattened a few hills along the way. Hope to hear from you in the future but take your time...after all I feckin did! Stay safe brother and CHARRRRGE!
Great to see you at the ski show Sean!! cheers for the link it is cool to see a few videos of you in action!!
Have a wicked season and you have a place to crash in Jasper if you can fit it in !!
Congratulations to you both. Fantastic news a wee boy. Im due again in January. Enjoy every minute as it goes by so quick and before you know it they are answering you back!!!!
Love to you all Shona xx

Hi Sean, I dont know if you remember me but i used to live out the back of you on Scalby Grove ( I still do actually as i bought the house from my mum ) I saw your story in the Gazette and thought i'd say Hi and congratulations to you & Leana on the birth of Thomas. Take care.
Hi Sean - WOW
What great news to hear that you are now a 'proud' father of a 'Rose'
You are a true inspiration to anyone & everyone
Take care

Hi Sean, I used to work at the People newspaper and News of the World Sunday magazine and now freelance for national newspapers and magazines. I'd love to cover your story about your new baby and would pay you generously for your time. Please can you get in touch by email or call me on 07816342060? Many thanks.
Mate,
Great, great news about the baby. I've tried to return your call atleast 10 times but keep getting the answer-phone. The number I have for you ends in '252'. I was on holiday when you rang and I'd love to catch up soon fella.

My love to you both, take care and keep in touch..xxxxx
Sean,
Thought I would put something on the public side of your profile.
What an inspiration you are to anyone with a disability or serious injury, you have proved that anything is possible. From almost the moment you realised your back was broken you have striven to be the best you can be and you have succeeded.
I wish you and Leana and of course the little 'Rose' all the very best for the future.
"Be inspired by Sean Rose" I was.
Hey! Just checking out your website...great site! Sounds like you had a great season! Congrats! And congrats to both you & Leana...on the new little one on the way! Too bad we didn't hook up this winter...I was looking forward to a visit with both of you. Life gets to busy sometimes....drop me a line if you're back in Canada this summer. I'm planning an art exhibition for June 20th...so let me know if you'll be around. Take care & stay in touch. Caprice
Sean,
Not been in touch for a while sorry! Hope all is well - seems to be - great results. I'm still in darkside now! Take it easy mate and keep skiing I suppose your'e not that bad really better than Kayaking and definately better than drinking you big girls blouse.
Happy Skiing and good luck with everything you both do. Andy Smith
Sean,
saw you on Ski Sunday yesterday and my slow brain finally placed you in my brother Andy's year at Bydales! Sorry to read about your crash but damn impressed at your attitude and achievements! Damn impressed.
Best wishes, Paul.
Fantastic news all round and congrats to you both. Its been a long time since the first time we met and I'll never forget the wind-up of that fist ski run on the instructors course when our group were taken to one side and you told me that we were the duffers and were being sent home; even though we turned out to be top group. To see how far you have come is truly awesome, especially since I made those journeys down to Murnau from Bruggen. That first time in the van when I took you for the Chinese meal and lifting you up into the van on the front seat. You said that you have never been so high in ages and now 8 years on, your on top of the world. Not only are you a true credit to yourself and your family but youâre an inspiration to all who have met you or read your web site. Keep at it Sean. Regards to all the family. PS. You still owe me a beer from that round in the Magi Bar ;-)
Sean
We have never meet but if you make Leana happy you must be an OK chap. Can we have some photos of you both as I have had nothing since your wedding. Please tell Leana that I miss her alot. I feel proud of your acheivements that I have heard off.
Best of luck to you both
Dear Sean, Just few word from me to thank you for the incredible week at sun peaks. Also the free ski day i had the chance to do with you and your team was just unbelievable for me. I learn a lots of new tricks that i will practice to improve my ski level. You are a wonderful source of inspiration for a lots of skiers and especially for me. Do you still have the cap i gave to you as a souvenir of me? Good luck in your future race. i will continue to follow your carreer and i hope to see you next year at sunn peaks. Best regards, Alex Cherton sitskier of team Quebec
Only known Sean (& Leana) for a short time and unfortunately now moved away. Thought that I might check out his background and blimey he really is a superman as well as a top bloke!!! Now know a web site to check out when I need some motivation or I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself.
Keep up the results cause I will be watching.
All the best to you two (plus one) and hope to keep in touch.
Peter M (Abbotsley)
Hey U, Just wanted to tell you how proud i am of you this season, you have skied awesome and your results over the past two weeks have showed off you hard work and dedication. Its fantastic to be here and see you on the podium receiving you well deserved medals, I know it has been written on here quite often but its true you are an inspiration to others including your wife!!! The paralympics is now 2 yrs away and i have no doubt that you will be a champion in your sport but by then you will also be a fantastic role model for your 18mth old son/daughter! Thankyou for making me the happiest (sickest) wife in the world & Bump and I love you so much and wish you lots of success for the rest of the season. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Just read about clean sweep in Kimberley on BBC sport website. Also just seen Craigs last comment. CONGRATULATIONS on both and hope you are both well. Drop me a note when you get chance. Muff!!
Well kidda, many congrats to you and leana didn't think you had it in you! (or maybe ran out of it!) , poor little one doesn't know what he/she's in for! , but you wouldn't torment your own would you? huh. , anyway all the best for now and the future
louse x
Hi Sean having been back from Kimberley for a week i thought i would look up you and the team, having read your story i feel a humbled to feel i've had a bad week with just jet lag !
Debbie is still embarrassed and appalled that she knocked you off the Snowmobile. Hope you are still hitting the slopes while we are hard at work. It was so nice to meet you and you are an inspiration to us all
Good luck and safe snowmobiling - best regards Gary, Debbie Reeves and Boys
Hey its your fave cousin here hope all is good with you and leana. well chuft with your good news. hope you are able to come to sophies 18th. well proud of all your achievements. you can believe your mum and dad are keeping us well informed. xxxxx
Sean
You truly are an inspiration. My 18 year old daughter broke her back and pelvis and dissected her liver in a high speed mva in 2005 and is still recuperating. She has full use of her legs but is no longer able to participate in contact sports. Prior to the accident she was captain of the netball, basketball and cricket teams and was quite an accomplished athlete and swimmer.
I'm ex RAF too and we may have some friends in common. I served from 1984 to 1988 and trained at Cosford (Telecommunications Operator) in 1984. I remember Mark Taylor from 16 pti course (i think) and Nick Brooksbank and Mark Boucher (17 pti course).
Take care
Emma
Hey Sean,
I am glad to know that you arrived in Canada safely after your breakdown in France!!! Thank you for your praise (we may be involved in a photo shoot Philippe and myself thanks to you -is this the beginning of the celebrity???!!!). But I really would like to say thank you to you. You were very nice on the phone with us and funny, (some of our clients become completely crazy in a French motorway!)I. It has been a pleasure to assist you.
Wish you all the best,
xxxx
Sab
Hi Sean, thank you for the SMS. Glad to know you arrived at home OK and I can see that the Flybe crew looked after you !!! It's been a pleasure assisting you. Take care and good luck with the race.
It was lovely to meet you as you can see I Googled you! We cant stop talking about you and you really are an inspiration. Hope to see you onboard another day.
Very best wishes and good luck for your trip to Canada
Lyndsey (the blonde one)
Hello
Just came across your page after we helped you get back from Europe when your car broke down (I work for Europ Assistance).
I just wanted to say your story is truly inspirational and an example to us all. Good luck for the future.
Happy Skiing
Hi there Sean sorry i have not been in touch for ages but lost your e mail addy and have just been looking through some old files on the comp and found this site via The Chimps site ( Ian ) Hope you are well. I take it you are still in Canada ? Please get in touch as soon as you can Tony
Sean
Sally and I (still together + two rug rats, 11 & 4) came accross your article in the RAF's Active magazine (Yes, we're both still in). I gather you've been a tad busy of late. Not that that comes as any surprise to me. Sitting in a bar, while on BWT, way back in Feb 2000, I had an incling you'd succeed come what may! Mind you, my initial thought was; you selfish bastard "come all this way to see you, and have you instruct me in the finer art of skiing, and you go and try and end it all"! We did try and come and see you, but your Mam and dad, who we ate with one night (lucky them), thought you'd not be up to too many visitors. We did send some crap magazines instead. Sean, from the sound of all your exploits, you deserve every success that comes your way. I know you probably tire of people saying you're an inspiration to them, but its true. Here I am, feeling pissed off with the world, and its just down to the stress and strains of work. Having read several articles about you on the web tonight, I feel just a tad embarrassed, and realise just how lucky a great many of us really are (then again, having had you surpass (almost) my ability on the hockey pitch, just to prove a point, I don't know wht I'm even writing this?) - Remember the "I'll be in the RAF 2nds by Christmas"? Sorry Sally and I haven't personally been in touch before now. We have spoken to PTIs in th past few years, who said you were doing OK, but its not been quite the same. Well matey, congrats on finding yourself a good woman. Hope she keeps you honest! Sally and I would just like to wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours, and we'll be watching out for yor results. Best wishes Si Rees (Finningley 1990 -95)
WELL DONE..Nice races in Pitztal
Iam looking forward 2 the next results.
Keep on racing like this and have a verry nice seizoen.
Gr Patrick (Holland)
Sean - You are an inspiration!! I know how difficult it is to motivate oneself with all ones faculties in place. Thanks for reminding us all how fortunate we are.
A fiend suggested That I read you story, as I am going through some hard times myself, his names Chris Elliot, he says "BIG RESPECT & HELLO". If I could find just 5% of the posatve thinking you have then my days would be brighter. Thankyou for sharing your story mr sean Rose. Sending (((Hugs))) nat x
