Vison Impaired or Blind - Mike May

d

Michael G. May (born 1954) is an American business executive and sports enthusiast who was blinded by a chemical explosion at the age of 3 but regained partial vision in 2000, at 46, after cornea transplants and pioneering stem cell procedure by San Francisco ophthalmologist Daniel Goodman. In 1999 he founded the Sendero Group, in Davis, CA, which employs many individuals who happen to be blind or visually impaired. Sendero has assisted those with sight disabilities by producing a pioneering accessible Global Positioning System. Their technology received the Consumer Electronics Show "New Innovations Award" in 2004.

Among his many accomplishments, May holds the record for downhill skiing by a totally blind person (racing at 65 mph). He has a wife, Jennifer, and two sons, Carson and Wyndham.

In 2006, journalist Robert Kurson wrote a book on May, Into the Light, expanded from an article he did for Esquire, which is being adapted into a motion picture.
