"Lonnie Bedwell, the first blind kayaker to run the entire length of the Grand Canyon in a solo kayak, epitomizes courage and devotion in this historic achievement. With only 14 days of whitewater experience, along with the uncounted solo wokouts in his pond in Indiana, Lonnie, an exceptional athlete, learned the skills necessary to paddle some of the biggest whitwater in North America. Guided by war vets and supported by an entire team in the canyon, Lonnie's achievement shows the vision that a blind veteran kayaker can have for others." --Joe Mornini -- from cover.
