Every month Fresno Scene Magazine
recognizes a few of the valley’s best. A person (or
persons) that stand out in their profession, an
inspiration to others, or someone who goes beyond to
better our community. This month
Fresno Scene Magazine would like to
recognize Daniel Licon; a 38 year old valley resident who
was in a motorcycle accident
March 16, 1994 leaving him a T 4/5 paraplegic. This
heroic inspiration is unstoppable! He’s an adrenaline
junkie who loves experiencing the thrill of new ideas.
Daniel’s life has been filled with
plenty of adrenaline fl owing activities since his
accident, such as snow skiing |
| in
1996, horseback
riding in 1997, skydiving in 1997, and wake-boarding in
2006 and this month Daniel will receive his
certification in Scuba diving!
One thing Daniel misses most since the
accident is walking on grass., “its the simple things in
life” Daniel says. Daniel’s dream is for his business
to one day take off ! His non-profit Organization,
Handiwhatinc, is Extreme Sports
for the uncapped. His goal is to help people with
disabilities to become more active in the public. Visit
his website
for more information: www.handiwhatinc.org.
Daniel enjoys working out. For cardio he
uses the hand-cycle and focuses on his upper body. He
admits that he didn’t
really do any of this stuff before his accident, it has
pushed him to want more. Those close to Daniel say he
is extremely
positive and very inspirational to be around. He is
involved in community outreach and hospitals call
on him to talk with others that are recently paralyzed or
are having difficulties with it.
Daniel is a true inspiration! |
