After a skiing accident left him quadriplegic in 1979, Sam Sullivan decided to reach out to other people with disabilities to help them take more responsibility for their lives. Sam believed barriers preventing or limiting full participation in society by people with disabilities could be surmounted through action and effort on the part of the individual, with the support of their able-bodied counterparts. Sam's willpower and entrepreneurship brought into reality several of the objectives he originally set out to achieve. With determination, energy, ingenuity and sheer effort, he launched six non-profit societies, all representing the ideal of promoting full citizenship in the community. The activities and programs these societies offer help improve the lives of people with disabilities not only in Vancouver and B.C. but also across North America and around the world.
