Shownotes Transcript

Against all OddsBernard Smith was told it was too dangerous to take a blind woman around the world. 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. Book: Touching the World: A Blind Woman, Two Wheels and 25,000 MilesWebsite: www.worldtour.org.uk)https://vimeo.com/bernardandcathy)https://www.youtube.com/user/603643/videos)Brought to you by:MAX BMW MotorcyclesShop our Online Store featuring parts diagrams for every BMW model.
