The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

The Long White Cane—An Essential Tool of Freedom for the Blind

The long white cane helps blind people navigate confidently and
independently through their communities. Independent movement, be it a walk
in a park or running a marathon, empowers blind people to live the lives
they want. Melissa shared:

“Taking part in the Bay Bridge Run/Walk was a private dream of mine. It
grew, then partially died, and I wasn’t sure I would be able to achieve it.
Yet I did achieve this dream, and this achievement was made all the sweeter
because of the others in the Federation who participated with me in order
to achieve dreams of their own.”

Thank you to HumanWare and our anonymous donor for providing matching gifts
during the week of White Cane Awareness Day and thank you for your support.*
Because of people like you, we’re able to bridge the gap between blind
people and their dreams.*
