Picture this ... 21 visually impaired people running 21 kilometres along with 21 "sighted tandem runners" guiding their way!

Find it hard to believe?

I work to raise funds for a Delhi based NGO Score Foundation working towards the rehabilitation of the 16 million visually impaired people of our country since 2003. Out of this 16 million visually impaired people 50% are children.

Our CEO Mr. George Abraham who is visually impaired himself since 10 months of age challenged himself and completed the 21kms run last year along with his sighted companion Mr.Anil Srivatsa. But this year, we felt that mere participation of a few people from our organization is not enough.

Thus, we have formed the Eyeway Brigade. The Eyeway Brigade would be a team of 21 visually impaired runners and their “sighted tandem runners” who will run the half marathon, which is 21 kilometres.

SO LET'S CELEBRATE THE HUMAN SPIRIT

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A BUDDY AND TAKE THAT STRIDE

Registration on first cum first serve as the number is only 21. Anyone who wants to be a member of this unique brigade should contact me by mail.... jaunita@eyeway.org by 15 August 2011.
