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.
