Second, the Summit will feature the one and only Donovan Tildesley, the Canadian Paralympic swimmer and 2008 flag bearer who lives with blindness as a result of an inherited retinal disease.
More information on the Vancouver Summit will be announced shortly, including additional speakers and workshops.
