We are delighted to announce November’s Stargardt’s Star, Sam Seavey!
Here is Sam’s journey:
“I was diagnosed with Stargardt’s disease at age 11. Being the only visually impaired student in school often left me feeling isolated and different. But those experiences taught me to step outside my comfort zone, build confidence, and make connections. Living with Stargardt’s has taught me to adapt, think outside the box, and find creative solutions to life’s challenges. It’s made me incredibly resourceful! Those early feelings of isolation are also why I’m so passionate about helping others with vision loss. Through my YouTube channel, The Blind Life, I share technology, tips, and personal experiences to help others feel less alone and empowered to live their best blind life. I’m excited to share more at the Stargardt’s Connected conference this year in London!”
Sam’s dedication to sharing technology, tips, and encouragement through The Blind Life has made him a vital source of support for people navigating sight loss around the world. His positivity, resourcefulness, and drive to ensure no one feels isolated make him a truly deserving Stargardt’s Star. Keep shining, Sam!
