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 https://www.ted.com/tedx
