Dan's Bio

At 28, Dan was living a healthy, active life in London, UK. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital. What followed was emergency brain surgery. On June 21st, 2014, Dan's reality was shattered by a devastating brain hemorrhage. With no map to guide him on his gruelling path to recovery, Dan had to rely on his grit, perseverance, and resilience to relearn everything he once knew how to walk, talk and even smile. Dan has survived two emergency brain surgeries, weeks in a coma and months in a rehab hospital. What he found out along the way might surprise you: there is nothing like a brain hemorrhage to refocus the mind! He is grateful for the Doctors who saved his life and the friends and family who supported him. Now he wants to pay it forward. The tools Dan used to build back his life can be used by anyone facing challenges. Better than yesterday!
