[NFBMI-Talk] Flint/ Genesee NFB Presdent wins Crim Foundation Lionheart Award!

[Jason Bias]

Hi Friends and Colleagues,

The amazing and talented Sheila Fulmore, President of the Flint/Genesee NFBMI chapter was awarded the Harry Binder Lionheart Award at this year's 46th HAP Crim Festival of Races in Flint, Michigan.
Like I said, she's amazing. Sheila is the driving force of our chapter. Under her leadership as Chapter President, she assembled a fantastic group of people and together they have hosted two community picnics, a state conference, held a beautiful gala, got accessible pedestrian signals installed in downtown Flint, and she assembled the first blind and visually impaired Crim road race training group. Sheila has an ability to get the best out of people, push when pushing is needed, create a welcoming and warm environment, and do it with seeming ease. She is a real and genuine inspiration to me, and it makes me so happy that the Crim Foundation recognized her as a lionheart.
Article from ABC 12,  "Visually-impaired walker named Crim Lionhart Award winner"<https://www.abc12.com/community/crim-festival-of-races/visually-impaired-walker-named-crim-lionhart-award-winner/article_0f70fce4-42d0-11ee-99cd-63d0c8fd3658.html>
And yes, it's Harry and not Gary like the article says.


Sincerely,
Jason Bias
