Bob's Story

In June of 1991, Bob Nichol was in a motor vehicle

accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Despite the many difficult changes that now faced him, “the support from my friends and family was tremendous,” Bob says when recalling the overwhelming community support and fundraisers held for him. Determined to not let paraplegia keep him from an active life, he decided to purchase his first racing chair with some of his fundraising money.
“I did not like running before my injury, so I really wasn’t sure how I’d like racing a chair. But once I started racing, I wasn’t going to let anybody stop me.”

His first race was a 5K in his own hometown. He didn’t really know what to expect and wasn’t sure how well he would do, but he just knew that he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of friends and family. He resolved to himself that he would sign up for it, practice hard, and at the very least finish that race. The day of the race finally came, and when he arrived, he was surprised to see other people in wheelchairs. There was even a separate wheelchair division. He was nervous, but to his surprise, he did very well, even against the other more experienced racers.

After that day, he was officially hooked! He signed up for every race he could find. And eventually, his passion and determination paid off, when he started racing in the professional circuit a few years later.

Bob began visiting rehab centers in the meantime, and he saw a big need for a urologic company in the local area. So he and his long time friend, Shawn, started their own business, South Shore Medical Supply. South Shore Medical Supply has been serving the Boston area for many years now. Even more recently, the company partnered with 180 Medical, and together, they are some of the top catheter supply experts across the country.

Bob now spends his free time enjoying life with his friends and family, peer mentoring others with spinal cord injuries, working out, and water sports. He was recently awarded the Special Honoree award from the Greater Boston Spinal Cord Injury Association for his work in the SCI community.
