He is the very Eric that climbed Mount Everest years ago and the 
NFB was one
of his sponsors.

 Hi everyone,



 Thought I would give an update on the TV show Expedition
 impossible

 that has Eric, sorry can't remember last name, the blind guy.  
So
 it has been
 4 shows now, the show has teams of 3 racing through Morocco and 
I
 am happy
 to say that team no limits (Eric's team) has been in the top 2
 for the last
 2 weeks.  The first show had some people from other teams saying
 it would be
 embarrassing to lose to a blind guy, but everyone is well past
 that now.
 Eric's brother and another guy make up team no limits and bells
 are used for
 Eric to follow.  His team is treated like all the other teams
 with a little
 blurb from someone on the team each week, and yes Eric's team
 generally says
 something about how he can or sometimes cannot do all parts of
 the
 challenges.  It is cool to see the other teams gain respect and
 start to see
 past the blindness and over all I think it is showing blind
 people in a good
 light.



 For those who want to check it out the show Expedition 
impossible
 airs on
 ABC, Thursday nights, 9pn eastern time.
