Dear Fellow JAWS Users:
My name is Mike Hanson. I happen to be blind.
I plan to hike the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail using GPS starting in March,
2009 to demonstrate the independence of persons with visual impairments, the
use of adaptive and assistive technology to achieve our independence, and the
value of GPS to the blind community. Adaptive technology will be a major
component of my hike.
Award-winning videographer Gary L. Steffens will make a documentary of Mike's
Hike. Please visit http://www.blindhiker.com for more information on my plans.
The only obstacle on my path is funding. Help me prove prevailing myths about
the dependence of persons with disabilities wrong and open doors for persons
with visual impairments. Make me take a hike!
Mike Hanson
