From Skid Row to Stardom
After moving to the US, 12-year-old Dan Edozie and his mother were left homeless and begging for food. But a chance bus journey was about to change his fortunes forever.
After moving to Los Angeles, 12-year-old Dan Edozie and his mother were left homeless and begging for food. Life was not easy: they slept where they could, sometimes on public transport, sometimes in the refuges of the city鈥檚 infamous Skid Row. But a chance separation from his mother was about to change his fortunes forever.
Dan tells Dr Sian Williams how this life-changing moment allowed him to take control of his own destiny and set his sights on sporting greatness.
