Discover the inspiring journey of a blind boy who overcame depression and found hope. Learn how he turned his life around to attempt sailing across the Pacific in 2013 only to be capsized by a whale larger than his sail boat, and surviving near death until rescued by a Japanese Self Defense Task Force. Learn how he overcame this near death failure six years later when Hiro became the first blind sailor to sail across the Pacific.
Hiro’s amazing and inspiring story has been covered internationally by BBC News, has appeared on many US news programs, and has been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles.
This presentation will be in-person at The Lighthouse of Houston and online February 24, 2024 from 4PM to 6PM CST.
