In this episode of White Canes Connect, Lisa and David talk with Passle Helminski, an artist and marathon runner. She tells us that she lost her vision after being assaulted while training. Passle tells us about her love of creating art and music. She teaches other blind and visually impaired people that they can be artists, too. She also tells us how she got her unique nickname.
