After months of recovery, he not only learned how to live as a blind man but also how to continue as a race car driver and machinist. Dan never quit pursuing his dream and worked to become the world\u2019s fastest blind man, earning the Guinness World Record.<\/p>\n \u201cI race with no human assistance, but I appreciate support from the National Federation of the Blind and others to build awareness of ways we can increase accessibility for people,\u201d said Dan. \u201cOn Oct. 20 from 8:30 am until 2pm<\/a>, I\u2019ll be at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet sharing my story and displaying my car. Please join my mission to drive accessibility<\/a>.\u201d An accessible world creates a more successful world. People with disabilities bring diverse perspectives, contributing to new ideas and innovations. <\/p>\n \u201cI appreciate the support of CloudEQ, Datavail, and Protiviti as gold sponsors for the upcoming event, and I look forward to sponsorships from other organizations and individuals<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n The motto Dan lives by is: You can make excuses or make it happen.
