Adventurer, Inspirational Speaker & Wheelchair User
Adventurer and inspirational speaker, Aron Anderson, has achieved feats that most people would think unimaginable, especially for someone in a wheelchair. In 1996, aged 7, Aron Anderson was diagnosed with cancer in his lower back. After an extremely tough period of chemotherapy and radiation treatments the cancer was removed. However, Aron lost functions in both of his legs.
Since then Aron has become the first person in a wheelchair to climb to the peak of Sweden’s highest mountain Kebnekaise. He has also climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, he’s swum 37 kilometres across the Sea of Åland, arm-biked from Malmö to Paris and skied 300 kilometres across Antarctica to the South Pole. His unique experiences have taught him the importance of a strong team spirit and a positive mental attitude. He now uses these experiences working as a motivational speaker and a successful ambassador for the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation.
