Volunteers needed for Marathon Weekend
|
Some Team With A Vision members before last year's Boston Marathon
|
On Marathon Monday, our Team With A Vision will toe the starting line of the Boston Marathon for the 22nd time. Every year this team of blind and sighted runners race to raise funds and awareness for MABVI, helping us continue to deliver professional, peer, and volunteer support to over 1,100 individuals each year, giving them the support they need to live with dignity and independence. This year's team includes runners and guides from all over the U.S. in addition to Canada, England, France, and China! Also, Peter Sagal, host of NPR's "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!" will be returning as a sighted guide for the third year in a row! (You can meet Peter this weekend in Boston! Learn more here.) Our Marathon weekend events are made possible by the assistance of volunteers such as yourselves. MABVI is currently in need of volunteers to help pick up and drop off runners at the airport, drive runners home after Team events, and serve as guides for runners who want to see the sights of Boston.
