Guide Dog Inspires Blind Woman to Start Faith Based Company Big Yellow Dog LLC
WINNETKA, Ill., -- Cheri was diagnosed with a retinal disease at an early age which resulted in total central blindness by age 17. However, she was determined to be normal and pushed through schooling which resulted in an amazing career. Unfortunately, like most retinal diseases hers was progressive and eventually affected the optic nerve resulting in partial peripheral blindness, diminishing her vision substantially. She once had considered herself a very strong independent woman who traveled the world but she found herself becoming more reclusive and intimidated by the unseen world around her. Friends and family noticed the drastic change and pushed for her to check into getting a guide dog. She was totally against the idea. Although she had used a white cane for years somehow she thought the guide dog screamed "handicapped."
