2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Talented athletes of Barking and Dagenham

Leanne Brown - Canoeing

Leanne is 19 years of age and is currently studying at London South Bank University. Leanne has been canoeing since 1999 and it has always been her ambition to represent the country at the Olympic Games.

Leanne has been National Champion in 2 canoeing disciplines, Sprint and Marathon. Leanne has represented the borough on numerous occasions at the London Youth Games, her club Barking and Dagenham Canoe Club at National Level and England and Great Britain at International level winning numerous medals and trophies along the way.

Unfortunately canoeing is not a high profile sport and Leanne must rely heavily on her parents to enable her to compete at a high level and continue fund her.

Leanne is currently continuing to train hard to make the transition from junior to senior and to continue to compete at the highest level.
