Description

Daniel Mancina is a positive advocate for the blind and uses his passion for skateboarding to change perceptions of the blind community. Having lost 95% of his vision, Mancina now focuses on spreading his passion for living a fulfilled life. Mancina believes that we all have things in our lives that act as handicaps--unsatisfying jobs, difficult family situations, depression or anxiety, or physical disabilities--and that it is possible to use these handicaps in a positive way. Mancina helps others recognize that their own struggles are tools that can be used to improve their lives if they shift their perspectives.
