Keegan Reilly Buried deep beneath Keegan's easy-going appearance lies an inner strength that passes all understanding. This strength coupled with his strong arms got him up Colorado's highest peak, Mt. Elbert, even though certain portions of the climb he would only gain 1" of elevation with each hand crank of his specialized 42 geared, arm-powered, four wheeler. Keegan was paralyzed in an auto accident 7 years ago. Looking at the 22 year old wearing jeans and a T-shirt, laying back in his midnight blue, Quickie Revolution wheelchair, one would never know that his disability has limited him in any way. .

Raised in a small Alaskan community on the Kenai Peninsula, hunting and fishing along with three brothers, Keegan loves the outdoors. He has taken up downhill skiing, using a mono-ski with outriggers, kayaking, and now mountain climbing on a four wheel bike designed and built for specifically for this purpose.

Keegan is a man of few words. Unless asked specifically, Keegan would not tell you about his Mt. Shasta mountain summit with three other paraplegic climbers, nor would he mention that he had been honored with an award from the governor of Alaska, or even that he had conquered Japan's Mt. Fuji. Keegan doesn't waste words complaining about his disability or about the many frustrations that accompany it. A former wrestler, Keegan has a way of looking at obstacles like an opponent. He faces them quietly moves, towards them, and then uses his positive strengths to overcome them.

Keegan's, future is bright because of his ingenius ability to turn problems into workable situations, his copious patience, and his fearless attitude to try new things. Like anyone who possesses these qualities, there is very little that can limit Keegan's accomplishments.
