[Sportsandrec] Road Races

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi,

Yeah, I guess when other disabilities are 
concerned, such an accomedation may apply, but 
Kelly does make a point in saying that blind 
folks' bodies should be subject to the same 
athletic feats as our sighted counterparts.
Think about how demeaning you may feel if you 
were set apart, soly due to your blindness?
