To not only share great stories of human resilience, but to increase general awareness about the accessible technology, medical advancements and adaptive recreation that exist in our world today for people with physical and mental disabilities.By raising awareness through media and educational presentations, they aim to get more people outside to enjoy what life has to offer and to inspire others to develop new technology and techniques that will benefit all those with disabilities.For more information about Steve and the Blind Endeavors Foundation, visit http://www.blindendeavors.orgThis is an inspirational conversation and you are invited to join us and hear Steve's triumphant stories.
