There is no other athlete in Aberdeen with an international profile as high as Kenny's. He is recognised as one of the worlds top wheelchair athletes in his category. Kenny has only been competing since 2001, but each year he has improved in all the distances that he competes in. His training regime consists of 6 days on 1 day off, 100-140 miles a week, with three days in the gym. Kenny is highly motivated and sets himself high standards; this has enabled him to rise to the top of his sport exceptionally quickly. Kenny was a successful fitness trainer, boxer and manager when he suffered a freak motorcycle accident in July 2000 which left him paralysed from the waist down, but he was determined to regain his fitness and independence. He took up wheelchair racing in 2002 and in an amazingly short period he has risen to the top echelons of the sport, taking all Scottish records from 400m to the marathon, and the British marathon record. He has been voted Aberdeen's sportsman of the year three times. His experiences and attitude to life have led him in to motivational speaking, visiting schools, charities and companies with a positive message about life.
