[TOM KELLEY]

Help spread the word about the Holman Prize.

We are now accepting applications for the <http://www.holmanprize.org/>Holman http://www.holmanprize.org/%3EHolman Prize for Blind Ambition, and we need your assistance getting the word out to attract the best applicants. The Holman Prize is awarded annually to three blind individuals who wish to push limits and change perceptions about blindness around the world. It is named for <https://holman.lighthouse-sf.org/who is james holman/>James https://holman.lighthouse-sf.org/who%20is%20james%20holman/%3eJames Holman, a nineteenth century blind explorer, who was the most prolific
traveler of anyone before the era of modern transportation. Each winner will receive $25,000 to fund an adventure.
