[Blindtlk] Winter sports?

[Judy Jones]

Oh tons.  There is no reason you should have to stay sedentary!

First of all and most important:  have you been to a center to receive your 
training skills.  When you get your braille and cane travel skills down, the 
world is yours.  At most centers now, along with the training in what we 
like to call Blindness Skills, there are also activities you participate in 
that raise your confidence level, bleeding over into other life areas, and 
many of those activities are sports-related.  Anything from bowling to rock 
climbing to white water rafting, depending on where the center is located.

When you get your foundational skills you will have an adventurous lifetime 
of building on those and doing the things you want to do, and can say 
good-bye to the sedentary.

If you do have your blindness skills training already, put those skills and 
enlist the support of family and friends to do so.

Also, check out Ski For lLight.


Best wishes.  Feel free to ask as many questions as you like and stay in 
touch with us.

Judy

I'm totally blind, no light perception of anything. Ever since I lost my 
eyes I've been way more sedentary than I ever was before. Are there ways to 
do things like skiing? I suppose if a blind guy climbed the seven summits 
there must be ways to do this stuff, I just don't know them.
