Wayne Lewis

Wayne Lewis is an Australian Paralympic lawn bowler who became a paraplegic while working on a farm with his father, when a slasher he was sitting under collapsed on him. After the accident he taught himself to ski and to play lawn bowls, and he won a silver medal in the men's lawn bowls pairs with Ken Moran at the 1984 New York and Stoke Mandeville Paralympics. He and his wife Carol run a sheep and cattle property and a bed and breakfast lodge called Ruth's House near Tatong in Victoria, and he is a life member of the Tatong Football Netball Club. The source gives his birth year only as 1951 or 1952, so none is recorded here.
