I hope you can speak about this at our state convention and certainly write
an article for the Braille Monitor.

Next week, I am off to Colorado to participate in the What's Your Everest
event. It is a fundraising event for No barriers, the organization started
by  Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to summit mt. Everest. I
remember kevin jhernigan, my O&M instructor telling me about him when I
asked  if and how blind people navigated "off road" back during my blind
classes at ICBVI. Now, here I am, participating in an event for Erik's
organization that provides experiences for people with disabilities
including veterans and children. Who would have thought?! I know being able
to be mobile, not just around town but in nature, where I enjoy being, has
made the world of difference in my life. I hope you find my experiences
informative and inspiring. If you are able, please support No Barriers while
I take on my own Everest in Colorado on 8/28! Thank you for your support!
