According to ABC 10, Stevie Wonder performed in Davis, CA on Sunday, April 24th at a fundraiser for young ski instructor Carson May, who went missing near Sugar Bowl Resort on January 15th, 2016. Carson was found about 1/4 mile from the Sugar Bowl ski resort boundary in an avalanche prone area.  Itโ€™s very likely that he died in an avalanche on January 14th, 2016. Mike May, Carsonโ€™s Father, has been friends with Stevie since the 1980โ€™s, they are both blind, which brings them together. Mike was blinded at the age of three in a chemical explosion, but regained part of his sight after a revolutionary (cornea) transplant and stem-cell procedure in 2000, at the age of 46.  Mike is also an avid skier. He set the worldโ€™s speed record for downhill skiing by a blind individual at 65mph. Itโ€™s great to see all of the support for Carson Mayโ€™s family!
