504: Erik Weihenmayer - overcoming your handicap. And you do have one.

504: Erik Weihenmayer - overcoming your handicap. And you do have one.

Imagine climbing mount everest and the Seven Summits, earth’s greatest peaks. Then imagine kayaking the Grand Canyon, all 277 miles of it, in one of the most challenging rivers on earth. Sound impressive? Now close your eyes and imagine doing all that - blind. That is what Erik Weihenmayer did. The dynamics involved in doing such a thing equate to someone with a profound experience and ability in things like overcoming fear and discomfort. Faith. Perseverance. Joy. And much more. But it is not just about Erik being a veritable superhero. He does these things to inspire others. All others, as he believes we all have handicaps we must deal with and big obstacles to overcome. His is not a drill sergeant approach however, but one of great faith and compassion. Connect with all Erik is doing at www.touchthetop.com.
