Vision 5k Run

Every year the a 5k race is held to benefit blindness research and blindness agencies in Massachusetts. The Vision 5k Run is different in that it challenges sighted runners (or walkers...I don't think wheel chair folks so much) to participate blind folded. You run or work tethered to a guide. For the record I am not running in this event but Perkins is a sponsor and is sending several teams.

There is a young lady who is running blindfolded (click the link above) in honor of her cousin (who is still living) who is blind. Stories like this girl's are not unique to an event like the Vision 5k Run, this race demonstrates the determination of not just the blind and low vision participants but the love and determination of family and friends.
