Competing everywhere in the world
Aron Anderson @Aron
Aron Anderson is an adventurer, lecturer and bone cancer survivor.

During the next 12 years I trained pretty much every day to become the best in the world in athletics. My big goal was to win the goal medal Paralympic Games in the 1500m race.

I have to say I did pretty good even though I never achieved my ultimate goal.

At least I ended up with 10 Junior World Champs gold medals and I competed at 4 Paralympic Games in three different events (Athletics, Sledgehockey and Sailing).

I was living my dream – competing everywhere in the world from the US, to New Zeeland, China and Australia.
