Hello Deaf community,
I have two pieces of exciting news.
The first exciting TV news is we have returning Deaf racer Luke Adams, back on “The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business,” with his mother, Margie Adams, of Colorado Springs, CO, again racing around the world for the supreme prize, one million dollars.
The Mother/Son team is competing in his second chance to win a million dollars, after falling short in Season 14 due to struggling with a surfboard challenge in the last episode of Season 14’s “The Amazing Race.”
Hence, the title of Season 18’s Amazing Race, “Unfinished Business,” where teams from seasons 12 to 17 get a second chance for the ultimate prize.  Margie and Luke are often seen using sign language for communication with each other throughout the show.
In the Lower Mainland, the show appears on Channel 9 or 15, 8pm. on Sunday evenings. Weekly gatherings to watch with each other in the deaf community are currently in the works. More details to come.
For more information about the show, check out the following internet links:

The second most exciting news is B.C. will be lucky to know that a committee of deaf community members is currently working with Luke Adams to get him to come to Vancouver, to give a motivational presentation about his experience as a Deaf person on the show, complete with photos and videos.  The event will include trivia games and prizes, opportunities for questions, photographs and autographs.
More details about the event, are to come soon.
