Blind hiker seeks milestone on Appalachian Trail
Bill Irwin, blinded, travels 2100 miles along the Appalachian Trail with guide dog Orient. From Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine, he has crossed blizzards, broken ribs, and endured about 3000 falls while replacing alcohol with faith. If reaching Maine succeeds, he will be the first blind man to hike the full trail.
