High school senior shares how Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute helped shape his swimming career

[Midway Como Monitor, April 24, 2024] At the age of 7, Nathan Leber of St. Paul began swimming at Allina Health Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute (CKRI), formerly Courage Center. Nathan was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair. The skills he acquired at CKRI became his foundation as he joined the swim team at his middle school. Now, he’s a high school senior and a member of his high school’s swim team.

“I don’t really think about what I like best about swimming,” said Nathan. “I just do it.”
