You have inspired me and many others. Thanks for including me in your story. You are an athlete! Its obvious that the word "can't" isn't in your vocabulary. It was nice to have met you at the Canada day race. I was very impressed that you are competing with everybody else and not treated any different. It makes your accomplishments that much better. I wish you the best of luck in the future. What an amazing story Cassandra! You have inspired me and many others. Thanks for including me in your story. You are an athlete!

I am a 37 year old mother of 3 who also has abinism and I started riding horses throuh riding for the disabled and I rode for 2 years at the riding school before I ge my own horse when I was 9 y.o. and strated pony club when I was 13. People told me left, riht and centre that I shouldn't being jumping and eventing but my parents were great and let me test the bounderies of my limits and it turned out that I wss just as good if not better than most of my peers whose vision was normal. Eventually though I had to give away the serious jumping as the heights were getting a bit too difficult, that and the fact that my horse was getting sick of being whacked in the mouth by the reins when I got left behind at times, because it was often difficult for me to judge the take off point bcause of my vision and he would pay me back for this by bucking me off. I gave away riding when I had my kids (whom are all perfectly normal by the way.) but I got back into it around 6 years ago and i'm loving it. Good luck for the future Cassandra, yours is really bright. Good for you Cassandra, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something!

He was diagnosed immediately at the hospital. I had so many friends and family tell me that they looked up NOAH's website and that everything would be just fine. I've told my husband that our son is going to be a swimmer. I see that just about anything is possible. Thank you so much for telling us your daughter's story.

I was very touched and I could definitely relate to some of the comments about when she was a baby. Thank you so much for getting this information out to people. Please visit the site I just started about my 9 month old daughter Lyra. Feedback is greatly appreciated, as I am continually updating the site. http://parentofachildwithalbinism.blogspot.com/ Thank you, Mashawna Thompson Hi,
