Daniel Brown MBE (born 29 November 1982) is a retired British para rower who competed at international level events. He is a Paralympic champion, a triple World champion and a double World Rowing Cup champion in the mixed coxed four with Grace Clough, Pam Relph, James Fox and Oliver James.[1]
Brown was a keen football and rugby league player when he was in his teenage years and played for Wokingham. He was involved in a car accident in 2003 which caused him to have life-changing injuries: he couldn't put weight on his ankle and he severed nerves in his left arm.[2][3]
