Pioneering Dreams: Dave Wilkinson's Race Across the Appalachian

Dave Wilkinson, an inspirational figure in the blind and low vision community, is taking on a monumental challenge: to become the first blind tandem bike racer to conquer the Appalachian range. This endeavor isn't just about athleticism; it's a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the groundbreaking capabilities of assistive technology.

A Morning of Motivation

Our journey begins with Vanessa from Envision, who had the unique opportunity to meet Dave for a pre-CSUN workout session. Amidst the hum of gym equipment, Dave shared insights into his life as a digital accessibility analyst, his work with Hilton to enhance web and mobile app experiences, and his commitment to making the digital world more accessible for everyone. But it's his passion outside the digital realm that's truly breathtaking—tandem bike racing.

Speedy Turtles and Dream Chasers

Dave's team, aptly named "Speedy Turtles," isn't just a nod to the challenges faced but a badge of honor, symbolizing determination and the will to move forward, no matter the pace. As Envision proudly sponsors Dave's race, it's not just about supporting an athlete; it's about championing a cause that resonates deeply with our mission—breaking barriers and fostering an inclusive world.
