The Foundation Fighting Blindness is currently running a campaign where they raise money for blindness by putting sighted people under blindfold and having them do something that they "can't imagine doing without their vision." These individuals have no training and are left with the idea that life as a blind person is difficult to impossible. Even more harmful is the portrayal of parenting as a blind person as difficult and even dangerous. Daily tasks like working out, parenting, cleaning, cooking, etc... are not impossible or even all too difficult. We just have to learn to do things a different way. BrekingBlind and WE Fit Wellness are not against medical research but we are very much against getting funding to support it by making blind people look incompetent.
Watch as Maureen takes the #howeyeseeit challenge and shows that it is not hard for a blind person to take a spin class.
