Craig MacFarlane set to speak at The Paxton Theatre on April 16
Craig MacFarlane has taken one of life's greatest blows, the total loss of sight, and turned it into a tower of inspiration that he shares all over the world. He'll be bringing his powerful message to the historic Paxton Theatre on Thursday, April 16 at 7 p.m.
Often referred to as the “world's most celebrated totally blind ahlete,” Craig MacFarlane has led an incredible life. His list of athletic accomplishments is lengthy, if not impressive. He has won more than 100 gold medals, the majority against sighted competition. He has won multiple national championships in two countries. He has represented two countries internationally, and won on the world stage, too. He has set records and then exceeded them. He has even performed as a professional athlete, being the only totally blind person to ever achieve such success.
More amazing, this extraordinary athletic success is little more than the backdrop to an even more astonishing story. This modest yet motivated man, in a classic example of triumph over tragedy, has built a remarkable family life and impressive business career on what most consider an enviable scale. He took the lessons he learned from his experience and applied them in the most dramatic ways. The result has been an impressive 30-year, post-athletic career, as an internationally renowned keynote inspirational speaker and business advocate.
