The kind of change that life just blows in, whether you are ready or not, here it comes. It's a tale about choices, a tale about character. You know, half empty, half full, lemons, lemonade, that stuff. Like many others, I have felt those winds. In 1959, at age two I developed a childhood cancer that threatened my eyesight, and my life. Fortunately, advancements in radiation treatments gave me the chance to fight, the chance to live. With the loss of my left eye and damage to my right eye, the fight was won and the cancer was gone. I went on to a wonderful childhood growing up in the wide-open spaces of the Southwest. I married Robin, had five children, Dustie, Luke, Katy, Samantha, and Ian. I followed my passion in life and in work. Living in the high Sierra in the summer and on the low desert in the winter. Life was going great. Then in my 48th year, life's winds of change showed up again. My remaining vision was fading. By the fall of my 49th year I was legally blind. No longer could I earn a living as I had done for the past 30 years. No longer was life so great. Then a good friend reminded me of the advancements in radiation therapy that had given me the chance to live, the chance to see. Forty six years to see the world, the stars, my children grow, my wife smile. I realized how blessed I had been. The gift I had been given, now needs to be shared, it needs to be paid back. With life's new wind, a new passion, and Blind Dog Coffee was born. Blind Dog Coffee is committed to contributing to charities that support the fight against childhood cancers. Just think, with every cup of Blind Dog Coffee, you'll help us give a child the chance to fight, the chance to dream, the chance to live. Those winds of life just blew your way. Make a choice, show character, and drink Blind Dog Coffee. With my thanks - Mark Berry. www.blinddogcoffee.com. Certified by NDOA.
