Daniel Kish

Daniel Kish is the real life Daredevil. Losing his sight when he was just an infant, as a child Daniel taught himself to use echolocation making clicks with his tongue and listening for the echo bouncing off objects around him.

Kish is the co-founder of World Access for the Blind and has helped many children and families the world over to overcome blindness and take up activities such as mountaineering, mountain biking, skiing and other mainstream sports.

Greetings,

This is quite a curious article, absolutely. I do have a small revision though; 'Dan'.

If you could please change the name to 'Daniel', which I have been going by for a few years now, it would be wonderful. The media outlets had a hard time catching on, and though it is something not of fault on your part, it is something I'm finally wishing to address publicly.

Thanks so much,

Daniel Kish

Hi Daniel,

I have now edited the article. I'm glad you took no offence - the information is mostly from 2nd-hand sources but it's an honour that you commented on it!
