Early life and family
Cassandra “Sanni” McCandless was born on 30 June 1992, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA – she spent half of her childhood between her hometown and the city of Seattle, Washington. Her zodiac sign is Cancer, and she holds American nationality. Cassandra was born into a family with two kids, her sisters Helen and Laila.
Her mother, corporate communications specialist Lesley Marijke McCandless, and her father, an electromagnetic engineer, Jay McCandless, own a company based in California entitled “Suncastle Microwave LLC”. They spend a lot of time at work, but Cassandra remembers them always taking care of their children, even though they were very busy. Cassandra got her nickname “Sanni” from her childhood friend, who couldn’t say her name properly, so shortened it in her own way, and Cassandra liked it so much that she started to introduce herself to the others as Sanni. Since her early years Sanni has enjoyed active games, and also liked singing.
Educational background
Sanni matriculated from East Chapel Hill High School in 2010, enrolling at the University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill.
During her junior year she joined an “a capella” music group entitled “Cadence”, not as a singer but as their business manager and social chair, organizing their performances at various local events and festivals. In 2014 Sanni graduated from the UNC with a BA in psychology and a minor in Spanish. In 2017 Sanni became a certified personal life coach, completing her studies at iPEC.
Career
Marketing and event planning career
While studying at the university, Sanni started working as a waitress at a small cafe entitled “Carmine’s Ristorante and Pizzeria”. Developing her managing expertise, she benefited from her work with the music band “Cadence”, and signed up for an internship in the sphere of event planning at the “Back Country Land Trust”, an environmental conservation non-profit organization.
In 2013 Sanni joined the Durham Arts Council, one of the oldest American arts councils, and also completed an internship at her Alma Mater, completing the “UNC APPLES Program”, organizing several events there, including the CenterFest Arts Festival. During her senior college year, Sanni worked as a Spanish teacher, also being a nanny to the family of her parents’ friends.
In 2014 Sanni worked as a hospitality assistant in the WorkAway organization, living in Cordoba, Spain for a couple of months. After working shortly for Koru Careers, Sanni got the position of an events and marketing co-ordinator at Queensland Council of Social Service, working for its program Energy Savvy Families.
Shifting from a clerk to an adventurer
In 2015 Sanni quit QCOSS to join her elder sister in coaching outdoor adventure sports, including rock climbing. In a couple of years, Sanni became an entrepreneur, founding a life coaching center, steadily attracting more clients, and feeling stable in the new market. Later Sanni became a co-founder of OutWild, a community for people who want to live an outdoor lifestyle and do outdoor sports. Along with the other co-founders, mountain athlete Jeremy Jensen, and career manager and podcast host Courtney Sanford, Sanni helps other people to change their lives and to be closer to nature and achieve freedom of self-expression. ‘Through her coaching, she helps people overcome the doubts and concerns that constantly get in the way of living fearlessly and feeling fulfilled.

Her clients achieve lifelong goals and find agency in their own lives by learning to communicate more honestly’, says the information about Sanni on the official website of OutWild. During the hard times of global pandemic of 2020, Sanni holds free online workshops such as “Effective Communication”, “How to Have Hard Conversations”, and others.
Personal life, fiancé Alex Honnold
Sanni met her future fiancé, Alex Honnold, at a book-launch event Alex held for his book “Alone on the Wall” in 2015 – Sanni was brave enough to pass him a small piece of paper with her number on it when he signed her copy of the book. After a couple of weeks when Alex returned to Seattle, he called her and they started dating, and Sanni subsequently began accompanying him on his journeys.
At the beginning of their relationship Alex already had the idea of climbing El Capitan rock, even though he’d already had two accidents. Later, Sanni was featured in the documentary film “Free Solo”, directed by Jimmy Chin and his wife Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, who also were producers of the movie. The film won the Academy Award as Best Documentary Feature in 2019, leaving behind such documentaries as “Minding the Gap”, “Hale County This Morning, This Evening” and “RBG”. The movie also won multiple awards from 2018 to 2019, including Toronto International Film Festival Awards, British Academy Film Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards, winning all seven categories the film was nominated for.
Sanni is often asked by her followers if she is afraid of Alex dying, as he often puts himself in danger almost on a daily basis.
She once wrote that at first she was not even thinking of his death, but after her friend Ueli died in an accident while climbing Everest, and his wife Nicole became a widow, Sanni understood that people she loved were often living their lives on the edge. Yet even then she wrote: ‘I would never want my death to take the joy of living from someone else. It’s natural and healthy to grieve, but maybe it’s also ok when the time is up. Not because we won’t miss the s*** out of people we love, but because death is coming for us all’.
Who is Alex Honnold?
Alexander Honnold was born on 17 August 1985, in Sacramento, California USA. His mother, Dierdre Wolownich is also a climber – she climb El Capitan when she was 66, but not free solo, as her son later did.
Alex’s father, Charles Forrest Honnold, is a community college professor. Alex admits that he has never been the best climber, as he has seen a lot of kids who started climbing early and did it like they had a natural gift; Alex says he has never been like that, but has had a passion for it, so he has managed to achieve this much. Alex became popular in the world of climbing when he free soloed the Rostrum and the Astroman in Yosemite Valley in one day, and has accomplished a lot of other significant climbs, including several free solos and speed solos.
Alex is a vegetarian, and doesn’t take any kinds of drugs or alcohol. His major interest after climbing is reading; he reads several books a week when he has spare time between his climbs.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbZ-06BrIF/
Cam became interested in both baseball and basketball at a very early age but couldn’t play baseball because he was afraid of being hit by a pitch. He was 14 when he gave up on baseball, and as he started playing football, he eventually gave up on basketball as well. He studied at Westlake High School and played for their football team, and upon matriculation in 2007, he was offered football scholarships from numerous colleges including Mississippi State, Virginia Tech and Maryland. He eventually chose the University of Florida, and started playing for their football team.
On 21 November 2008, Cam was arrested for stealing a laptop from a fellow student, and was thus suspended from his team which led him to move to Blinn College in January 2009, then in 2010 to Auburn University to play for their Auburn Tigers. In 2011 he announced that he was entering the NFL draft, deciding not to attend his final year of college, however, he would later obtain his college degree in 2015.

Cam was the first overall pick in the draft, being selected by the Carolina Panthers and signing a four-year contract worth $22 million.
He showed amazing skills while playing for the Panthers and soon became one of the most wanted football players in the USA. However, problems started for Cam in 2014 when he had to undergo ankle ligament surgery and spend four months recovering – not long after he came back to football, he suffered another injury after Jamie Collins fractured his ribs. In December 2014, he was in a car crash and fractured his back at two places.
Regardless, on 2 June 2015, Cam renewed his contract with the Panthers, and this time signed for five years and $103.8 million, but his bad luck continued – he suffer a concussion on 2 October 2016 during a game against the Atlanta Falcons and had to miss the second half of the game as well as the next match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On 8 July 2020, he signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots which secured him $1.05 million and up to $6 million in bonuses, however, he tested positive for coronavirus on 3 October, and was placed in reserve.
Love life and wife
In 2013, Cam started dating American stripper Kia Proctor, and she gave birth to their first son in December 2015. In February 2017, the couple welcomed their daughter, while their second son followed in July 2018. The couple’s fourth child was born by the end of 2019, however, months before that, an Instagram model gave birth to her and Cam’s son, which proved that he was having an affair.
Not long after Kia gave birth to their fourth child, she and Cam split because of his unfaithfulness. It is believed by many that Kia was Cam’s wife, that they married in secret and later divorced, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
Cam has dated several other women. In 2011, he was in a relationship with Angela Simmons, an American shoe designer and a social media personality, but they were together for only a couple of months before he began dating famous American singer Ciara. In 2017, he had an affair with Rubi Rose, a model and an Instagram star.

Hobbies and other interests
Cam is physically very active, and has five to six training sessions at the gym each week, as it’s crucial for his career to stay fit. However, he was a pescatarian in the past, and became vegan in March 2019 which has had its impact on his recovery from injuries, as according to the doctors, this regimen has significantly slowed it down.
He is very religious, and is a devoted Christian who goes to church at least once a week, and after winning one of his games in 2011, Cam went on to state: ‘It’s just a God thing. I thank God every single day. I’m just His instrument and He’s using me on a consistent basis daily.’
He is interested in designing clothes, and is the owner of his own clothing line called MADE. He also has another business, having opened his restaurant and cigar bar in Atlanta in May 2019.
