Orléans dead-blind speed skater Kevin Frost finished up his long track season this past weekend at the Masters International Canadian Open on the Vancouver Olympic oval, but he isn’t putting away his skates just yet.

Fresh off the event where his top result was 11th in the 500 metres out of 63 racers to go alongside 13th- and two 14th-place finishes in the other distances, Frost is back in town today to participate in a 100-kilometre skate as a fundraising event for the Ottawa Rotary Home, which provides care for children with physical disabilities. “Have I ever skated that distance before? No. Will it be hard? Yes. Will I finish it? Yes – absolutely,” Frost says. “I feel that with all the training I’ve done, I’ll be able to do it, and it won’t be a race.” Frost can be reach by e-mail at kevin-nemo@hotmail.com – tax receipts will be issued for donations to the Rotary Home.
