Special Fathers Network -
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis.

The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

28 FEB 2025 · Our guest this week is Sebastien Pelletier of Montreal, Canada a financial professional and father of four, three of whom were diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. The Pelletier family was also featured in the National Geographic documentary BLINK.
Sebastien and his wife, Edith Lemay, have been married for 14 years and are the proud parents of four children: Mia (13), Leo (11), Colin (9) and Laurent (7). Mia, Colin and Laurent have been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare genetic disorder also known as Inherited Retinal Dystrophy (IRD) that causes loss of vision. Â
There is no known cure for IRD that will eventually lead to complete blindness. In lieu of just providing their children with images, videos and movies to bolster their visual memories, the family embarked on an 18 month, 15 country journey around the world, which became the subject of the 2024 National Geographic documentary BLINK. Â
BLINK is more than a beautifully filmed travelogue to once-in-a-lifetime destinations, it's about the family’s love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder to ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present.
Today's episode is also a touching reflection about a couple's commitment to family and adventure, all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

14 FEB 2025 · Our guest this week is Isaac Jean Paul of Los Angeles, CA. who is a father and U.S. Paralympic track and field champion who just happens to be legally blind.
Isaac and his significant other, Myra Harris, are the proud parents of two year old daughter Shylah.Â
Isaac was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. In high school he was a track & field star. As he began to lose his sight he didn't want to be treated any differently than everyone else. A friend suggested he compete in adaptive athletics, which led to training and qualifying for the U.S. Paralympic Team. He's won national championships and represented the U.S. Paralympic Team in Tokyo and Paris, where he is a two time medalist in the long jump.Â
Isaac is also the author of a children's book entitled: Mya's Marvelous Day At The Games , which was published in July 2024. Isaac will be inducted into the Lewis University Athletic Hall of Fame in March 2025, just as his mom was 20+ years ago. Â
