What are David Smith MBE’s main achievements?
Alongside his incredible sporting feats, including becoming Paralympic champion rower at the London 2012 Games, David Smith’s main achievements have seen him defy the odd by defeating cancer and paralysis. In 2010, cancerous tumours were discovered on his spinal cord.
After learning how to walk again, he stunned the world by becoming a Paralympic champion in 2012. However, since then, the cancer would return four more times, but David refused to be beaten. Going through the same rigorous rehabilitation process time and time again, David continues to battle cancer, only able to look six months ahead between assessments at hospital. This has given David a newfound perspective of life and he lives every six months to the full, making him one of the most captivating speakers both from a sporting and personal aspect.
