A WEEK OF BLIND SACRIFICE
For the last week of Lent, Toronto area broadcaster Drew Marshall decided to give up his sight. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Drew placed specially made contact lenses over his eyes which prevented him from seeing anything. As you can imagine, he's been asked many times... "Why?"
"Aside from having great admiration for the visually impaired, Ive often thought that being an overly visual North American male has meant that Ive missed out on the more subtle movements of God. My sight has always gotten in the way of my spiritual growth, because of issues with either trust or lust. So maybe just maybe, with the absence of sight might come a more attuned sense of the quiet whispers of the Holy? Being blind for an entire week was by far one of the most mind blowing experiences I've ever had."
Be sure to listen to our Saturday April, 18th show at www.drewmarshall.ca and listen as Drew debriefs about his blind experience with... Grammy Award Winners, The Blind Boys of Alabama - Christie Healey, Widow of Blind Juno Award Winner, Jeff Healey - Blind Hollywood Actor & Author, Tom Sullivan. (If anyone knows Stevie Wonder, could you tell him that wed love to interview him someday as well?)
TODAY'S SEGMENT - Drew rides his horse Champ, wipes out by an outhouse, walks the block by himself, battles depression, personal reflections.

I think that this series is very informative. I'm glad that you're sharing it with us! I never thought about a lot of issues that you bring up. As a visual artist, i think that these details are intriguing, and more people should be informed about how others unlike themselves live.

I'm a blind person and you are obviously attention-seeking. Why can't you admit it instead of all the pretense.

The worst is when show is piled up and you have to go into the street before realizing where you are! I'm a blind wheelchair user and bowl. (I have a video up if you'd like to have a look.)
