Blind Faith?

I saw a news broadcast tonight about a group of climbers on Mt. Kilimanjaro (15,100 ft). Just climbing the mountain is a pretty amazing feat, but it is even more amazing to realize that these climbers are all legally blind. Over rocks and up steep cliff faces, accompanied by sighted guides, they climbed to the summit by feel and by raw courage and by "blind" faith. I wanted to put their story here so that on the days when I feel like I can't do whatever is in front of me at the moment, I have their courage and their faith to be my inspiration. Here's the link to their blog telling the story of their training and their climb.
