Glenn Dickson

Glenn Dickson was on a fishing trip with his mates when he was attacked by a shark. Bleeding out and on the brink of death, Glenn persevered with a strong will so that he could go home to his wife and three children.

At just 25, Glenn would lose his leg after being lifted to a hospital in Cairns for emergency surgery. The amputation of his upper right femur limb put him in a long battle of recovery and rehabilitation. But with sheer determination and unparalleled optimism, he was able to overcome the major hurdles, eventually learning to walk again shortly after.

Soon after his recovery, Glenn and his wife opened a family business where he could pursue his dream of becoming a gym trainer. He is passionate about motivating others to achieve their fitness ambitions, just as he hopes to maintain his strength for himself, his family, and his survival.

With a vulnerable, thought-provoking and incredibly inspiring look into his life-changing fishing trip,  Glenn delivers a unique sense of humour and charisma that is sure to resonate with audiences. He emphasises the importance of mateship, bravery and first-aid skills in saving a life, and provides critical insights into overcoming adversity with mental strength and determination.
