When it comes to athletics and outdoor recreation, there isn’t much that Sam Danniels doesn’t do – and that’s remained so even after his accident. When he was 19, Danniels’ life changed forever, while his zest for life and passion for adventure stayed the same. Danniels grew up in Ontario, but he has since made the wise decision to live in North Vancouver. Like many kids reared in the heartland province, though, he spent countless summers being pulled by a boat through the water while tubing, barefoot waterskiing or wakeboarding. He played rugby and hockey. He windsurfed and rock climbed. One of his major passions was mountain biking.
