Blind Faith Donations
BlindFaith.org was founded in 2025 by Dan Parker, a lifelong racer and visionary innovator. Dan lost his sight in 2012 after a 175 mph drag racing accident—but from that moment, he was determined to regain his independence.
His love for bicycles started young—working in bike shops from age 13 to 18 and winning the Georgia State Road Race Championship at just 14. After going blind, Dan and an incredible support team designed and built a custom 3-wheel motorcycle, racing it on the famed Bonneville Salt Flats to set an official F.I.M. class record of 62.05 mph.
But Dan didn’t stop there. In 2017, he rebuilt a flood-damaged 2008 Corvette with one bold goal: to become the world’s fastest blind man. Exactly ten years after his accident—on March 31, 2022—Dan achieved that dream, reaching an astonishing 211.043 mph. Both groundbreaking projects relied on a custom guidance system engineered by his longtime friend Patrick Johnson, providing audible steering feedback.
Now, Dan is applying his skills as a designer, fabricator, and leader to a new mission—creating technology that empowers blind individuals to ride bicycles independently. A true innovator and master machinist, Dan’s work can also be seen at TheBlindMachinist.com
At Blind Faith, we unite technology, faith, and partnership to give blind and deaf-blind individuals the freedom to ride solo. Our goal is to build a fleet of three-wheel recumbent bikes and take them nationwide for track days, letting riders experience the independence of cycling on their own.
In collaboration with Auburn University and Boston University, we’re developing cutting-edge guidance and self-driving systems. From sensor-guided bikes that follow a lead rider to pedal-powered velomobiles for independent travel, we’re reimagining what’s possible for the blind community.
Founder Dan Parker knows the challenges firsthand—after losing his sight, he learned that transportation limits opportunity. At Blind Faith, safety is our highest priority, and innovation is our path forward.
Join us in bringing this vision to life—help make freedom possible for the blind.
