David

David Johnson is a Canadian Paralympian and advocate whose journey is defined by resilience and adaptability. Growing up in Victoria, BC, he was active in many sports before learning he had a degenerative eye condition, leaving him with less than 3% vision. Instead of limiting him, this challenge shaped his path, leading him to focus on Paralympic track and field, where he has represented Canada at the Commonwealth Games and Para Athletics World Championships. Along the way, he has overcome injuries and setbacks with determination and creativity. Beyond athletics, David works at CNIB, enjoys social activities and learning new skills, and shares his story through public speaking to inspire others. His journey shows that limitations don’t define a person, how they rise to meet them does.
