I want you to close your eyes. Imagine you're 16 years old, and you wake up in a hospital bed. What you're currently seeing is all you'll ever see again. Your vision is now entirely made up of memories. You're blind. Yep, at just 16 years old, this was Ben Pettingill's reality. He lost 98% of his eyesight overnight to a rare genetic syndrome. Despite that though, Ben has achieved more since being blind that many people ever achieve in their lifetime. Ben's story is an extraordinary example of the true power that comes from harnessing your mindset. His resilience through adversity is truly inspiring, and naturally, that meant I absolutely had to interview him.If you'd like more of Ben, you can follow him on instagram @BenPettingill.
