ANNA HEMMINGS MBE
All of us on the Marathon Committee are very pleased to learn that Anna Hemmings has been awarded the MBE in the 2010 New Years Honours List.
It is a fitting tribute for Anna’s dedication to the sport of canoe racing and acknowledgement of an international career that spanned more than 15 years and in which Anna became six times World Champion, as well as gaining successes in World Cups and European Championships. Throughout her career Anna has conducted herself impeccably and has been a true ambassador for her country and her sport.
