Welcome to the October newsletter!

Hi Steve,

October has been quite a month at Be My Eyes, and we’re here to bring you all the highlights. We'll get you up to speed with an important milestone. Next, you can read about no less than three new awards on our mantelpiece, as well as what we believe to be one of the most important awareness days of the year; World Sight Day. We also have some fall inspiration for our blind and low-vision users, and then we’ll introduce you to an interesting blind YouTuber with a purpose. But first, we’ll start you off with Jon’s Story. Enjoy the read!
