When Joanna was told her newborn son, Jude, was blind, at first she thought her family would never be able to do normal family activities again. Little did she expect that now at age 13, in addition to keeping up with his five siblings, Jude would join the middle school cross-country team with the help of an assistant principal who learned to be his sighted guide. Joanna shares about:

- How her family adjusted to teach Jude life skills and how he navigates his surroundings today

- How he got into running and what it's like to be a sighted guide

- What it was like joining his cross country team with the support he's gotten from his middle school

- How, above all else, Jude is just like any other 13-year-old teen boy!
