Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier were shocked to learn that three of their four children suffered from a rare genetic condition called retinitis pigmentosa. This condition, over time, causes loss of vision and had already affected the couple's daughter, Mia (12 years old), Colin (7 years old) and yesterday Laurent (5 years old).
Since there is no cure or effective treatment to slow down the rare condition, the couple made a very important decision: to go on a tour around the world so that the children's memory would be filled with beautiful and unforgettable memories of the places they would visit.
Lemay said the idea came to him when the girl's doctor suggested he enable and create visual memories for children. “I'm not going to show her an elephant in a book, I'm going to take her to see a real elephant. I will fill her visual memory with the most beautiful images," added the mother.
Immediately, she and her husband planned to spend an entire year traveling the world with the children. The goal is to see landscapes, natural wonders, different animals, and to undertake adventures that they cannot do at home.
The starting point was Namibia, to continue with Zambia, Tanzania, Turkey, Mongolia and Indonesia. The family continues with the most beautiful journey, while the little ones fill the entire visual memory with amazing sights.
