Episode #29 - Trevor Thomas (Zero/Zero)

Trevor Thomas was an adrenaline junkie in his mid-thirties when he started to lose his sight. Six months later, he was completely blind. After a spell of understandable bitterness, Trevor refused to allow his new circumstances to define him. Approaching the logistical issues with a precise attention to detail, he set out on a new journey. This has led him to hike nearly 20,000 miles in the past ten years. His story is inspiring, as is his mission to empower blind and visually impaired young adults while challenging the misconceptions the sighted community has toward the blind. He founded Team FarSight Foundation, Inc. to achieve this goal in 2014. Since 2012, Trevor has been accompanied on his many adventures by his remarkable companion, Tennile. There are many ways to contact Trevor; Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram , as well as through his website . He and Tennile continue to inspire those of us who often take our physical well-being for granted. Jessa is now in her first 100 miles and enjoying every minute. Don't forget to follow her blog, which you can reach here . I caught up with her a couple of times this week. James Claiborne, another guest from a previous episode, shares his pre-hike concerns. They proved to be groundless as he reveled in the companionship of the trail. Please consider being a patron of the show. Go to patreon.com/mightyblue to support me. Thanks
