On Sunday, April 17th, I participated in the Helen Keller National Center's 5K Run/Walk 2016. This event was held to benefit people who have a vision disability and/or hearing loss. It took place at Sands Point, Long Island. Thanks to the generous support of my family,<br>teachers and friends, I was able to raise over $700. I had such a nice time being there and seeing everyone else enjoying it as well.<br><br>The Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults (HKNC) is the only comprehensive national program that provides vocational and rehabilitation services exclusively to youths and adults who are deaf-blind. A residential-based training program, located at its headquarters in Sands Point, NY, provides evaluation, short-term vocational and rehabilitation training and assistance to consumers in locating employment, housing and community resources in their home states. Field services include 11 regional offices, over 40 affiliated agencies and Senior Adult Services. A National Training Team (NTT) conducts professional training seminars both on campus and in the community.
