Krissy's New Year's Resolution

Your blind friends make New Year's resolutions, too.

People might easily misjudge Krissy because her face doesn't show expressions of joy, excitement, pleasure, or disappointment. Her speech and sight are also affected by Moebius Syndrome. But look beyond the exterior of Krissy's body to who she really is inside. Visit with Krissy for awhile and you will discover her spark and intelligence.

"NCBC camps mean so much to me," Krissy says. "I love all the activities. I do things I can't do back home. This year I even flew by myself to winter camp."

On this particular day, her sighted guide helps Krissy suit up for downhill skiing. Bright blue sky allows white snow to reflect the brilliant sun. They adjust their ski goggles. Together they ride the chair lift up to a ski slope called Wilson's Way.

Halfway down the ski slope, the guide tells Krissy, "Wave to the photographers."

Krissy's enthusiasm reaches out to you. "This is the highlight of my year! I want to thank all the donors who have to make this possible."

Congratulations, Krissy, for your courage.
