United In Stride

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to the various events that United in Stride was at last week! Our members and ambassadors were present at multiple events across the country, and we had an awesome time getting out there, making connections with the community, and being active! This picture is from one of the events in California, where we had 14 blind and low vision athletes, 14 guides, and some additional blind/low vision athletes who we met at the event!

We are incredibly grateful to our sponsoring partner, Choosing To See, for funding our latest expansion! Thanks to their generous support, United in Stride now seamlessly connects blind and low-vision hikers, tandem cyclists, and triathletes with sighted guides—just as we do for runners and walkers. Their commitment empowers our community, expanding access to more activities than ever before. Thank you, Choosing To See, for making this possible!
