The 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games opens on Saturday. And, Canada's wheelchair basketball star Anderson Patrick is aiming high.

Anderson and his Canadian Wheelchair Basketball team have won gold medals in the two previous Paralympics. The 29-year-old is regarded as one of the best players in the world by his peers and media. At the age of nine, Anderson was struck by a drunk driver at a picnic, and became paralyzed for life.

Instead of allowing the accident to permanently end his physically active lifestyle, Anderson persevered to become the world's top wheelchair basketball star. He says it's become the most important part of his life.
