> Hello,
>  
> The National Federation of the Blind is proud to partner with WE Fit Wellness to learn about the real barriers that people who are blind and low vision face to exercise, nutrition, and access to medical equipment and services. The information obtained in this study will be helpful in providing health programming, policy changes, and guiding future research that support blind people in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.  To participate in this study simply complete the survey. Participants have the option to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift card.  The survey will remain open for responses until Sunday evening, February 27th.  Please feel free to forward this letter to other blind adults who may be interested in taking the survey.  A higher response rate will lead to more accurate and valid results.  Our team began data collection at the National Federation of the Blind’s annual Washington Seminar. If you took the survey with us there please do not retake it. If a participant is unable to complete the survey online, research assistants are available to assist over-the-phone by calling (866)-543-6808.
