Featured Story

The Journey of Light

&

Sound

My name is Kevin Frost. I am deaf and blind because I have Usher Syndrome. Usher Syndrome is a condition that takes away your hearing early in life and your vision later in life. I was diagnosed at the age of 32.  My life was turned upside down. I lost my job, driver’s license and hobby refereeing, because I now have 5% hearing and 10% vision left.  I decided to stay positive and get on with life.  Thanks to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, I received a guide dog named Nemo, who has given me my independence back.  Nemo accompanies me everywhere I go.

I am involved with international speed skating against able bodied skaters and have won 20 medals so far. I’m trying to get speed skating added to the Paralympics and do presentations to educate people and businesses about disability issues.  My most recent accomplishment is that I have been pre-selected for the Paralympics Adaptive Rowing team for Canada.
