Mike May spent his life crashing through. Blinded at age three, he defied
expectations by breaking world records in downhill speed skiing, joining the
CIA, and becoming a successful inventor, entrepreneur, and family man. He
had never yearned for vision. 
Then, in 1999, a chance encounter brought startling news: a revolutionary
stem cell transplant surgery could restore May's vision. It would allow him
to drive, to read, to see his children's faces. He began to contemplate an
astonishing new world: Would music still sound the same? Would sex be
different? Would he recognize himself in the mirror? Would his marriage
survive? Would he still be Mike May? 
There were countless reasons for May to pass on vision. He could think of
only a single reason to go forward. Whatever his decision, he knew it would
change his life. 
"Crashing Through - A true Story of Risk, Adventure, and the Man Who Dared
to See," a book by Robert Kurson gives us a fascinating account of one man's
choice to explore what it means to see, and to truly live.
