Blind Fitness Waterfront Surrey Bike Ride    RSVP 5/15/24  Donate Link

Together, in partnership with Anacapa School, we will be riding surrey bikes with a group of middle school students and teachers. Our Blind Fitness participants will help educate and spread awareness of the blind and low vision community. Come pedal with us on Wednesday, May 15th from 1-3pm.
