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.

I’m interested in going if there is funding available. I spoke with Trisha from NABS and we are trying to get something in the works for an event.
