Hi folks,

As previously announced, NHL referee, Dan O'Rourke, is biking across
country to promote our mission. He is TWENTY days into riding and just
crossed into Texas, almost halfway to the finish line. We need your
help to get the word out. Together, we can all make a difference.

How to help:

  *   Please support this effort by sharing the
https://nfb.org/route66<http://nfb.org/route66> page with friends and
family.
  *   Below is a draft social media post to copy and paste - or craft
your own fun message of support. Attached is an image to use with your
posts. When using the image, please add the image description to the
alt text field.
  *   You can also follow and share Dan's updates on
Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094724881338> - he
posts daily videos smiling as he rides between sixty to eighty miles.


Sample social media post:
I am following NHL referee, Dan O'Rourke, as he bikes across the
country along historic Route 66 this summer to raise awareness for
Braille literacy. After growing up watching his blind father defeat
all obstacles in his path, Dan wants to give back to the organization
that further empowers blind people to live the lives they want, the
National Federation of the Blind. Learn about the Route 66 Ride for
Literacy at nfb.org/route66.
