The Boy who could see without his eyes

Truly inspiring.
Here's a bit of info on him from Wikipedia
Quote:
Diagnosed with retinal cancer at the age of two, American Ben Underwood had his eyes removed at the age of three.
He discovered echolocation at the age of five. He was able to detect the location of objects by making frequent clicking noises with his tongue. This case was explained in 20/20:medical mysteries. He used it to accomplish such feats as running, playing basketball, rollerblading, playing foosball, and skateboarding.
Though at first resistant to using a cane for mobility, seeing it as a "handi-capped" device, and considering himself "not handicapped at all", Daniel Kish demonstrated to Underwood how he used his white cane combined with echolocation to further expand his mobility, though Underwood never adopted this method.
Underwood died on January 19, 2009 at the age of 16, from the same cancer that took his vision.
