The main reason I'm posting this is because I'm a WoW player and I saw this story and was touched by it. Since the community in WoW is pretty shit, seeing a guild do this warms my heart.
Anyway.
"In our guild, we have a member that raids with us who is completely blind. His name is Ben Shaw, and he currently plays an enhancement shaman called Hexu. Ben used to be a soldier in the British Army and, whilst serving in Iraq, was involved in an incident with a roadside bomb in Basra. As a result of the explosion, Ben suffered multiple shrapnel wounds and had to have both of his eyes surgically removed."
Another guild mate of his acts as a "guide dog", telling him where to go and what to do at precise times, and when raiding on WoW most of the times you gotta be pretty precise so I find it amazing they can do that.
There's a whole interview here, plus more information http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/01/12/guide-dog-player-and-guild-embrace-sightless-guildmate-steer/
He also has done some other stuff like getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7389868.stm
