Today, Dieterich Jr/Sr High School had the opportunity to listen to Lonnie Bedwell. Lonnie is a veteran, extreme sports athlete and motivational speaker. He lost his vision in a hunting accident in 1997, however that did not stop him from living life. In 2015 he was named the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and became the first blind person to kayak the Grand Canyon. He has also climbed Mt. Everest, and last December hiked to the South Pole. Lonnie is truly an inspiration and has proven that with hard work and perseverance anything is possible.
