Defying disability-triple amputee dancing Argentine tango

Touching and inspiring moments in the HOLIDAY TANGO WEEKEND 2025 in Dallas, Texas. After briefly talking to the dancer, I learned her full name is Samantha Gower. The following is from Gemni AI: Samantha Gower is an ICU nurse, wife, and mother who became a triple amputee following severe medical complications in late 2020. She has gained recognition for her resilience and her transition into becoming a triathlete. Based on public reports and athlete profiles, here are the key details about her story: Medical Background Cause: In September 2020, Samantha contracted a virus that led to septic shock. Amputations: To save her life, medications were used to maintain blood flow to her vital organs, which unfortunately restricted circulation to her extremities. This resulted in the amputation of both her legs and her left hand. Recovery: She spent six weeks in the ICU and further time in specialized rehabilitation (Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals) to relearn basic tasks like sitting up and transferring herself. Athletic Achievements Background: Before her illness, she was a nationally ranked rock climber. Triathlons: Approximately one year after her amputations, she competed in her first triathlon (the Katy Triathlon in Texas). The event consisted of a 500-meter swim, a 12-mile bike ride, and a 3-mile run. Goals: She has expressed a goal of competing in IRONMAN events to ensure that bilateral amputee women are represented in the sport. Personal Life Family: She is married to her husband, Tanner, and they have young children. Profession: She is a professional ICU nurse, which she has noted gave her a unique perspective on her own time in intensive care. #Hugo Patyn & Celina Rotundo
