I second everything that Jordy says. I am not in Columbus because my son and grandson are visiting. But I feel very strange not being involved with this important work. Thanks to all of  you  who are working hard to day. My thoughts are with you.

The National Federation of the Blind knows 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. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
