The Travelers

Trevor Thomas always loved extreme sports. This love, however, was threatened when, in 2005, when at the age of 36, Trevor began to lose his sense of sight. And eventually, he went completely blind. But this didn’t stop Trevor from doing something that I am dreaming to do someday — and even doubt my ability to finish — which is planning and completing a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. All 2175 miles. He’s gone on to complete the Pacific Crest Trail, the Tahoe Rim, and founded Team FarSight, to challenge societal misconceptions about the blind and visually impaired, and to show that it’s not the insurmountable disability that most believe it is. A Quick Preview: Where Trevor learned a love of extreme sports. How he lost his sight. The change that allowed him to change his mindset and rediscover his identity. Why he chose to get started by taking on the Appalachian Trail. What he gets from these experiences, and how people - who once thought he was crazy - see him today. Explore Further: TrevorThomas.
