This amazing gentleman that will be part of the USA Para-Olympic Team in Rio
in a few weeks. Lex Gillette is blind and he is a previous silver medalist
in the Para-Olympics but this year he is determined to get a gold medal. The
man that is spotter/guide is such an inspiration as well to show how we can
make such a difference in the lives of those that have disabilities so that
others can see their abilities. Please share with others as we are caught up
in the Olympic Spirit right now!
