Also, I'd like to get an idea of which schools will allow people to raise for them without being close to the organizational headquarters. I live in Nebraska now, so no schools are really within driving distance of me. Also, of course I'd like leads on programs that have previously allowed someone who is blind to raise for them. I think this could be a really fun experience that would allow me to grow as a trainer, but would also provide support if I needed it. Besides, I like the feeling of doing some volunteer work that I love already.
