Paralympian Profile

Danny McBride #181

Photo of Danny McBride in a rowing boat at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

Danny is New Zealand’s first Paralympian to compete in Para rowing at the Paralympic Games. He did so at London 2012 winning the B final in the Men’s single skulls race. Danny was previously worked in the forestry industry – he likened the hours of solitude cutting down trees to the solitude of single skull rowing. Danny now runs a farm in Tirau and loves taking on his mates in a game of wheelchair basketball or tennis.

Danny officially received his ‘numbered’ pin as part of The Celebration Project in Hamilton in June 2019.
