I am continually amazed by how far the human spirit carries people. Not long ago another blind man summited Mt. Everest. That is no easy task for anyone including those that can see. I have no doubt Mike can accomplish his goal. Go Mike Go. I wish Mike the best on his journey. I am continually amazed by how far the human spirit carries people.
