[NFB-Kzoo] Stay Fit with NABS

[Robert Earl Parsons]

Happy Tuesday Chapter Members!

It's been a while, but I am back with an exciting update and opportunity from our national student division. With over 280 active registrants for our national convention and annual student business meeting, NABS has been hard at work at creating programming that best gets our members involved and interested in furthering our mission. One way as fundraising chair that my committee and I have been able to get students active is our annual NABS Walk-A-Thon event, which is currently live.
The Walk-A-Thon is very simple in that you can either choose to be a supporter or a participant. In a way to stay fit, blind students from across the country have began to register and raise money in pledges for the distance they walk on July 8. A pledge can be a fixed amount or an amount based on the number of miles walked on the day of the event. In order to represent for our affiliate and for the NABS board, Chunky Crab has registered as a participant for the Walk-A-Thon. I have set a daily goal of 12 miles to complete, but a total goal of 100 miles walked by the date of the event and could use your help to both motivate me and support NABS in the process. Using the link below, I challenge our students, chapter members, and affiliate members to support our national student division in some way. If you are interested in joining the NABS Fit Club, feel free to register as a participant. If you would rather support through pledge or donation, look for my name on the list. I'm sure that we can bring some of that enthusiasm we are known for to NABS and their event.
