Against All Odds - Bernard Smith - Cathy Birchall - First Blind Woman to Circumnavigate the World by Motorbike
Show Notes
Against all Odds
Bernard Smith was told it was too dangerous to take a blind woman around the world by motorcycle. But, with Bernard as her pilot, Cathy Birchall was the first blind woman to circle the world by motorcycle. They rode their old BMW motorcycle, covering 25,000 miles, experiencing many breakdowns and along the way discovering the kindness and generosity of strangers. This is truly an inspirational story of love, humanity and survival against the odds.
