Louie McGee's blindness makes him neither helpless nor a hero. With keen visionary insight, Louie humbly demonstrates that in between helpless and hero is a lot of space for possibility and adventure. Delivered with humor and charm, this talk will inspire people all abilities to pursue their dreams; even those that once seemed impossible. Nineteen-year-old Louie McGee runs a nonprofit, completed an Ironman Triathlon, rafted the Grand Canyon, and is legally blind. Diagnosed with Stargardt, a rare disease of the retina that results in a loss of central vision, when he was young, Louie has learned to find the possibilities in his diagnosis. His nonprofit-Louie’s Vision-provides visually impaired kids with opportunities to expand their life experiences and find their own adventure by focusing on raising awareness and building confidence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
