Danny Crates
Paralympic icon and world record holder
Danny Crates is widely considered one of the greatest British disability athletes of all-time. After losing his right arm in a horrific accident in 1994 at just 21-years-old, Danny moved into Paralympic sport and quickly began to dominate – famously winning gold in the men’s 800 meters T46 final at the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, a year which also saw him set a new world record.
When Danny first heard about StepNpull he was blown away by the concept. Not only would it help someone like himself leave a bathroom door without having to use his one arm, the ability to protect himself from any transfer of germs or infections was extremely appealing. Danny is excited to be working alongside StepNpull and hoping to share the product and it’s features around the world.
