JJ’s Star Spangled Salute: A Blind Veteran Ready For A Grand Canyon First

Today, we salute Army Veteran and former paramedic Shawn Cheshire. During her service, Shawn suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her totally blind. She has not let that slow her down and has achieved many notable accomplishments. Her newest challenge is to be the first blind person to hike across the Grand Canyon from the North Kaibab Rim to the South Kaibab Rim without a sighted guide. Shawn’s attitude has inspired many because she says, “It’s not about can or can’t, it’s how.” Thank you, Shawn, for inspiring, and THANK YOU for your service.
