Like many teenagers, Ashton Dunford loves cruising along on his skateboard. What’s more impressive is that the 13-year-old boy from Utah has been blind since birth. Far from letting this hold him back, he’s mastering tricks and working toward his goal of tackling the ramps at his local skatepark.
“Ashton’s grown up listening to the skateboard,” said his mom, Hilda Dunford, 34, referencing how her husband, Tyler, 39, grew up skateboarding and continues to this day.
