Across three years since a life-altering accident, Navy clearance diver Dave Miln has rebuilt his life after losing both legs. Injured while shielding his young daughters from a snow plough in the US, Dave endured months of treatment and more than 25 surgeries, facing ongoing physical and mental recovery.
Sport became his motivation and focus, helping him heal, keeping him connected, and driving new ambition. He now aims to represent Australia in Para-biathlon at the Milano Cortina Paralympics, hoping to inspire his daughters and show what’s possible after adversity.
As the face of Paralympics Australia’s End of Year Appeal, Dave is advocating for support to help him and the next generation of athletes pursue their dreams on the world stage.
