Students’ Union Ballroom | University of Lethbridge
A silent auction in support of the International Students’ Emergency Fund will be available for bidding throughout the night.
Lowell was the first blind contestant on The Amazing Race and now his sights are set on competing in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in Road and Track Cycling. Together they share their life stories and the challenges of going blind, living with a blind guy, and finding the supports needed along the way. Physical activity and sport have played a large role in providing meaning and hope while living with a disability. They prove that positivity can outshine a disability – that negativity can be more debilitating than a disability.
