UnfairRepresent 07/23/19 5:17:42 PM #1:	This Colorado pair brings new meaning to the word determination. When one couldnt walk and the other couldnt see, they teamed up to share their love of the great outdoors. Melanie Knecht was born with spina bifida, so she uses a wheelchair to get around. Trevor Hahn only recently became blind after he contracted glaucoma five years ago. Both living in Fort Collins, Colorado, the two met at an adaptive boxing classand they soon ran into each other again at an adaptive rock-climbing class. They immediately bonded over Knechts lifelong hobby of camping and Hahns passion for outdoor sports. When she told him about her recent trip to Easter Island, where she got the opportunity to be carried on another persons back, it was a eureka moment. Even though his sight was gone, hed been able to scale a Himalayan peak, using poles and spoken directions from his companions. They started small, but next monthwith her vision and his strengththey will trek to the top of a 14,000-foot mountain. It just seemed like common sense, Knecht told Good Morning America. Hes the legs, Im the eyes boom! Together, were the dream team. At the start of each hike, a friend lifts Knecht into a carrier on Hahns back. From that point on, she gives him verbal directions to navigate the trail. Since February, they have been sharing their hiking adventures on Instagram. It made me so happy to help someone experience what Ive been able to experience my whole life, Hahn told GMA. The best part is being able to make her smilethat gives me purpose. In addition to this sense of purpose, the two share an understanding of how difficult it can be asking able-bodied or sighted people for assistance in everyday life. They get immeasurable satisfaction from being able to do this on their own. Thats the human spirit, Hahn told Outside magazine. If you want something bad enough, and you find the right peoplewho also want what you wantyou can do anything. While the two accept that others appreciate what theyve been able to do, theyre not looking for accoladesthey just want others to encourage inclusive and adaptive solutions for their friends with disabilities. Dont not include them because you think they wont be able to do something.

Jiek_Fafn 07/25/19 11:13:10 PM #14:	With the boxing and the rock climbing classes while having their physical issues these folks are making me feel bad that I don't really do anything exciting. On a more CE type note, shes probably giving him reach arounds and shit right? It seems like if you're a combined physical dynamo then you might as well apply that to more than just climbing stuff. --- PSN: Jiek FFRK: Tyro God Wall KZcv <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:925193809] in Woman who ...
