In 1990, during a school leadership course. Cy fell ill with an unknown virus which attacked his spinal cord.
After 3 months in a coma, Cy regained consciousness, but had to learn to deal with the heavy burden of being disabled for the rest of his life. He had to re-learn to speak and had to come to terms that he will never walk again. During his stay in hospital, Cy developed a close relationship with his nurse, Wendy Lurie, and they married in 1994. They were informed that producing children would be a near miracle and probably not possible. Cy and Wendy's son Joshua was born in April 1995.
During November 2000, Cy's determination and courage was again portrayed when he took the challenge of "climbing" the Sentinel Peak in the Drakensburg, defying the "rules" of disability and making history.
Cy is described as a leader in the true sense of the word, a motivator, friend and counsellor - someone who always has the right intentions.
