Brendan Hansen
Brendan Hansen isn't just a serious swimmer, he is also a serious advocate for children's health. In the pool, Brendan:
- Has set three world records
- Is the only person in history to win both the 100m and 200m breaststroke events at consecutive NCAA Championships
- Won gold, silver and bronze medals at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens
Out of the pool, Brendan is just as dedicated to giving back to the community as he is to swimming. As a national spokesperson for the Leukemia Research Foundation (LRF), Brendan supports youth clinics and gives motivational speeches to further the foundation's cause. Brendan and the LRF are developing a series of events to support worldwide medical research programs.
"Leukemia is the number one cause of death by disease for children up to age 14, yet it's diagnosed 10 times more often in adults than children,"Brendan says. "Funding research to find a cure is really the only permanent solution."
Brendan & Toyota are both dedicated to make a difference in their community.
Brendan Hansen is an Engine of Change.
