Can you imagine competing in a race without being able to see?
BLINDSTART's Dragon Boat Race team has Visually Impaired People (VIP'S) and sighted paddlers who race blindfolded. Our non-profit needs your help this Saturday to guide our VIPs to the warm-up area, help with the equipment and loading them on the boat. Some have guide dogs that need to be watched while owners are on the water. We will meet at Mother's Beach on Saturday, September 13th.
Experience blindness as you learn how to become a Sighted Guide!
Mother's Beach is a great location where many Dragon Boat Teams practice. Call Mary at (770) 778-8154 when you arrive since our banners and tent won't be up (until you assist us). RSVP that we can count on you. Thanks !!!
