*Mike May. Being blind since age three never stopped Mike May from
achieving at the highest possible level. Defying expectations for more
than 40 years, the Davis, Cal. resident was a world record-breaking and
gold medal-winning Paralympic skier, CIA employee, entrepreneur, inventor
and family man. But none of these accomplishments could have prepared him
for his most recent endeavor. On March 7, 2000, May underwent experimental
stem cell surgery in an effort to regain his sight. Incredibly, the
surgery was successful, making him one of only a handful of people ever to
have regained vision after nearly a lifetime of total blindness. In this
powerful REAL SPORTS report, correspondent Frank Deford joins Mike May
after his life-changing surgery to better understand the trying journey
he?s undertaken as he deals with the world as he never saw it before.
Producer: Mike Sullivan.
