SNEWS® Live:  World-class adventure athlete Timmy O'Neill has a new mission. The self-styled climber, comedian and filmmaker is leading a national effort to provide the disabled with tools and resources they need to lead an active lifestyle. As the co-founder of Paradox Sports, O'Neill is making it possible for paraplegics, amputees and the blind to participate in a variety of sports ranging from downhill skiing to skydiving.

SNEWS® Live connected with O'Neill at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to get the inside story on this new outside initiative.
