Your help is still needed!!!! Torrie and I have committed to join the National Federation of the Blind's March for Independence - A Walk For Opportunity fundraising event. This 5K Walk will take place at the National Federation of the Blind's national convention in Detroit July 3-8. Our goal for the Walk is $500; we are half-way there. Please support us with a donation by selecting the "Support Doreen" button. By helping us reach our goal, you will see that together we CAN make a difference. The money raised from this event will be returned to NFB state and local affiliates in the form of grants and direct funds. It will also be used to support the NFB Jernigan Institute's programs for children, youth, college students, adults, and seniors. Together with the National Federation of the Blind we can change what it means to be blind!
There are three goals for the Walk: to raise funds, to educate the general public about blindness, and raise awareness about the NFB. This organization is so dear to us because it has changed what it means to be partially sighted for Torrie, our family, and countless others. Torrie (with her cane, Rosie) and I will "march" with others that feel as strongly as we do about the National Federation of the Blind. Help us to raise our minimum pledge of $500. By clicking the "Support Doreen" button on the website www.marchforindependence.org/goto/doreenf, you will go directly to the donation page.
We want to thank you in advance and we'll keep you informed of our progress.
Watch for pictures when we return.
Love, Torrie
