Incredible Inspirational Video - A true Inspirational Life Story of a Blind Man (Best Inspiration)

Erik Weihenmayer (born September 23, 1968) is an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, and
the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, on May 25, 2001. He was honored with a Time Magazine cover story.

He also completed the Seven Summits in September 2002, joining 150 mountaineers at the time who had accomplished that feat, but
the only climber who was blind. In 2008 he also added Carstensz Pyramid in West Papua New Guinea, the tallest peak in Australasia,
thus completing the more respected Seventh Summit.

Erik is the author of two wonderful inspirational books; 'Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther Than the Eye Can See'(his memoir), and 'The Adversity Advantage, Turning Everyday Struggles into Everyday Greatness.'

In his poignant and inspiring memoir, he shares his struggle to push past the limits imposed on him by his visual impairment-
and by a seeing world. He speaks movingly of the role his family played in his battle to break through the barriers of blindness: the mother who prayed for the miracle that would restore her son's sight and the father who encouraged him to strive for that distant mountaintop.

Erik Weihenmayer became the only blind man in history to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, and he has climbed the Seven Summits - the highest peak on every continent.

Today, while still adventuring, he is a prominent worldwide speaker, focusing on the topic of using adversity to advantage and living a 'No Barriers Life'.

"The course of one's life is like the ascent of a mountain. Although a climber may have the privilege of standing on top, it takes a team to get him there. I thank my friends and family, who have been my support team, creating opportunities in front of me, building a foundation of hope and confidence beneath me, and enabling me to reach my own summit." ~ Erik Weihenmayer
