We have been contact by the CNIB looking for running guides. Guides walk or run beside a blind or visually impaired person while providing verbal cues and/or while holding a tether. A guide running clinic is tentatively scheduled for March 15th in Burlington. The goal race is scheduled for April 19th in Hamilton. More details on the program for the blind / visually impaired runners can be found here.
They reached out to the Benders because they are looking for someone to act as the guide for a 10 year boy in Brampton. The representative is willing to set-up a meeting if you are interested in supporting the boy prior to their March 15th training session. If you are interested in participating please send a note to volunteers@bramptonbenders.com and your information will be provided to the CNIB representative.
