Anne Dickins (born 20 February 1967) is a British paracanoeist who competes in the KL3 classification.
She competed as an endurance mountain biker until she ruptured a disc in her back in 2011, which led to her developing cauda equina syndrome[2] resulting in permanent nerve damage in her right leg.
[3] Dickins was a volunteer Games Maker at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she met Colin Radmore, a canoeing coach who invited her to try out for the Great Britain paracanoeing team.
[2] She had to overcome seasickness when she took up the sport, and underwent a desensitisation programme similar to those used by fighter pilots.
[9] Dickins was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to canoeing.
