I know Mike, and he is one heck of a guy! But do you notice how this press release concentrates on one thing more than others? Seeing? Because, according to the world in which we live, being blind is well, kind of like being dead and not knowing it!
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Chao Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 2:54 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] Mike May book release Read Mike May's adventures in the newly released book, "Crashing Through," by best selling author, Robert Kurson For Immediate Release, May 25, 2007 Davis, CA One of Mike May's adventures was the founding of Sendero Group and the release of the first accessible GPS system. Read why "finding a way" is in Mike May's DNA. As seen on CBS Sunday Morning, coming soon on 20-20, NPR, in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC, USA Today, People Magazine, and a Fox 2000 movie to follow. 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.
