[Ohio-talk] 2018 Flying Pig BLT Station

[Sheri Albers]

Good afternoon NFBO!

It is once again time to round you all up to come down to Cincinnati for the
Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday May 6, 2018, to volunteer for the Flying Pig
BLT Station! This is a very special year for the Flying Pig Marathon, they
are celebrating their 20th anniversary and we can be proud to be a part of
it. 

 

For this event, we will line up at Mile 9 of the Half Marathon, on Madison
Road, and cheer on runners and hand out Puffs tissues to them as they go by.
For this task, the affiliate will get paid $500! All we need to do is make
sure we have 30 members, family and friends signed up to participate.

This will be our third year manning this station and it has been a lot of
fun. For those of you who were there, you will remember how much the runners
appreciated us, not only for the tissues, but for the moral support we were
able to provide. This is a great way for us to give back to the community,
while getting the brand of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio out
in the public!

 

On the morning of May 6, we will meet in the GCB parking lot at 1501 Madison
Rd Cincinnati 

OH 45206 at 6:30 AM. We will then walk down to our spot along Madison Rd at
Mile 9 and get ourselves ready for the runners. We are usually done by 9:30
AM. Then it's time for a hearty breakfast. More specific details will
follow.

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.
