"I didn’t just walk as a blind person or as the mom of my son, Robert, who is blind; I walked for those parents and blind people who haven’t found us yet, the ones who don’t know that they can find a voice through the support system of the National Federation of the Blind," said Cassie McKinney, president of the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children. Cassie reflects on her experience with participating in a 10k race on one of the most thrilling bridges in the world, that stands nearly 200 feet high above the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. She and other Federationists took on this challenge to raise funds to support the NFB and bridge the gap between blind people and our dreams. Have you ever participated in a race or marathon?
