Hi, Chix...
I recently volunteered at the National Braille Press, and found out
about a really cool event. It's called the Vision 5k. It's a 5k Run &
Walk in Boston (Fens area) on June 7th, at 10am. It's $25 (cash/check)
or $28 (credit card) if you register before May 23rd. They also have a
kids fun run for $5. The proceeds go to various programs to help the
blind. They have a really cool optional challenge where you sign up
with a partner and one of you runs the course blindfolded, and the
other is your guide (you are tethered together to prevent injury with a
wrist cord). Personally I'd love to try that! Unfortunately I am
going to be out of town that weekend, but I thought some of the Chix
might be interested as well. You can register on their website:
www.vision5k.org
They sent me a bunch of brochures and stuff to with some information.
Let me know if you want me to send you one (I can scan it and send it
as a .pdf file).
