Lonnie Bedwell (U.S. Navy, retired) shares his incredible and inspiring true story of becoming the first blind person to navigate a kayak through 226 miles of dangerous whitewater river flowing through the Grand Canyon.
Bedwell embarked on this brave and historic undertaking to raise public awareness of the plight of disabled veterans, and to show these veterans, many of whom suffer from clinical depression, what they could achieve by taking advantage of adaptive sports programs like those offered by volunteer vets organization Team River Runner.
Lonnie has been helping inspire a lot of his fellow veterans with his exploits and, whenever someone asks him if it makes him feel good to help them, his reply is always the same: Those veterans did (me) and all of us a favor by fighting for us and (I’m) just paying them back.--Richard Seppala, The R.O.I. Guy
Bedwell’s story includes insightful comments and recollections from his family, other veterans, and the men who helped him prepare and complete his remarkable journey.
Bedwell’s amazing accomplishment is a testament to the limitless scope of the human spirit and our ability to overcome life’s most daunting obstacles.
You can learn a lot from Lonnie. I did. I learned so much from him that by the end of our time together in the Grand Canyon, I realized that the trip was really as much about Lonnie guiding me as it was about me guiding Lonnie.--Alex Nielson, Lead River Guide

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I would highly recommend the book to anyone that is visually impaired or ... By Victor Henderson This review is a little biased since I know Lonnie personally. I met Lonnie a little over a year ago and have seen him in action in whitewater. It truly amazes me what he can do even though he is completely blind. Reading 226 allowed me to get to know Lonnie a little bit more...to know some of the struggles he dealt with after losing his sight and more details about his adventure down the Grand Canyon. I would highly recommend the book to anyone that is visually impaired or disabled in any other way, or if you're a paddler...

The format is lacking at times but I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Knowing Lonnie personally I can attest that the book is truly in his voice. He is also as humble and gracious as this account portrays him to be. Take the time to join him in his story and you won't be sorry!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Victory For The Overcoming Spirit By Margaret Hampton Lonnie Bedwell's gripping story of tragedy and triumph kept me spellbound, sometimes teary eyed, other times cheering. Replete with visual imagery, this vet's account of how his five-year-old daughter literally saved his life will have readers as choked up as Lonnie himself was for 18 years whenever he sought to recount that story. Well written and with great appeal to the overcoming spirit, this is a must-read book for all who face challenges, especially disabled vets and others with serious physical issues, and everyone else who needs encouragement. Kayakers, too, and others who love outdoor sports will relish the pages of this book and appreciate the intense preparation, the anguish, the determination. Be prepared for an experience you won't forget!
