Here’s to Life and All That Jazz

Dave MacCalman is a jazz lover, a gold medal winning Paralympian, and a marathon champion with domestic and world records. He has filled his 60-plus years with energy and adventure.
In 1980, Dave’s future was already looking bright, and he was on track to become one of New Zealand’s most accomplished basketball stars. The twenty-one-year-old was on scholarship at college in the US, when a day swimming with friends ended in the fracture and compression of two vertebrae at the base of his neck, and a new life began.
