"I've never gone back to tell him, although I assume he knows he was wrong," explains Zach as he sits down to speak with ARA at a hotel in the center of Barcelona, where this Englishman who lives in Ibiza, his new home, is visiting. He apologizes for arriving five minutes late: "I was at the pool with my son, who never stops moving," he says. He doesn't stop moving either. Almost 15 years after the accident that seemed to condemn him to a wheelchair for life, Zach has run a marathon and this summer he swam across the Strait of Gibraltar, the latest of his milestones. </p>]]></description>
