[Ncabs] information about an online survey about blindness and travel skills

[Cindy Bennett]

Thanks, i took it earlier. I haven't read the objection messages, but
i thought it was good as well. Someone is always going to find a
problem with everything, but i saw it as a good opportunity for us to
contribute for research which would in turn lead to more positive
knowledge and opinions of us.
