After six years as an expert EOD Technician in the military, Aaron Hale became blind when an unseen IED exploded in his face in Afghanistan in December of 2011. In the years that followed, Aaron rehabilitated himself to an extent most sighted people would envy – running marathons, climbing mountains, and even solo white water kayaking.
After a few years of learning how to "google" life while being blind, Aaron was rushed to the emergency room with a crippling headache, the doctors soon discovering that he had contracted a rare and dangerous bought of bacterial meningitis, causing him to lose consciousness for several days, eventually emerging from his comatose state with painful headaches, crippling vertigo, and the devastating realization that his hearing was now gone.
In this inspiring story of "Winning Against the Odds," Aaron and his wife McKayla have become chocolatiers in a business called E. O. D. Fudge (Extra Ordinary Delights). This compelling story is still unfolding and you can follow along in the links below.
