Choices Shape the Future

I lost my eyesight at the age of sixteen.
Choosing trust over fear, and possibility over limitation, I became the first blind person to captain a sail boat non-stop across the Pacific Ocean.

In 2027, I will cross the Pacific again – this time, completely alone. Not to prove what l can do, but to explore what is possible.

Around the world, people will follow the voyage in real time – becoming my collective eyes. Not watching from a distance, but participating in the journey.
