Graham Salmon
Graham Salmon, MBE (September 5, 1954 – October 1999) was a blind British athlete. He set the world record for 100m by a blind man at the 1984 Summer Paralympics and won a gold medal in the B1 400 metres. He competed at both the Summer Paralympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games.
==Early life==
Diagnosed with a tumour in his right eye at the age of three days, Salmon had to have an operation to remove it. When an identical tumour was discovered in his left eye some weeks later, he underwent radiotherapy to have it repaired. The eye didn't stand up to the treatment, and he was left completely blind.
Salmon was educated at Linden Lodge School where he gained O levels in History and English Language and Literature. He subsequently attended Worcester College.
Apart from being left blind, Salmon was able to live a relatively normal life. He gained support from the RNIB and managed to get a full qualification in computer programmning.Whilst his disability limited his career prospects, he was employed by Abbey National Building Society for a considerable number of years before his health failed .
