Team With A Vision
Team With A Vision Boston Marathon®
Team With A Vision is proud to be a part of the Boston Athletic Association’s charity program allowing us to field a team for the Boston Marathon® 2020. Our international team raises awareness that with the right support anything is possible, while raising critical funds for the Massachusetts Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired (MABVI). Because of the generosity of the B.A.A. MABVI is able to sustain the Healthy Living Initiative–a unique program of professional, peer and volunteer support to over 1,400 individuals
All funds raised support MABVI’s Healthy Living Initiative which focuses on the physical, emotional, and mental health needs of individuals living with vision loss and blindness. This includes our statewide network of vision rehabilitation services, 34 low vision support groups, and adjustment to vision loss counseling, Assistive Technology Training Centers, and 400 volunteers matched 1:1 with blind individuals for guiding or other healthy living activities.

Services we provide
-
Support Groups
The best support and advice is offered by people who really know what you’re going through – people who’ve had parallel experiences. Peers with shared experiences may even be able to anticipate your questions. While adjusting to vision loss, and even after you’ve grown accustomed to the change, a peer support group is a big help
-
Adjustment Counseling
Your life changes when your vision changes. It’s normal for this to feel upsetting and difficult, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our Adjustment Counseling program can help.
-
Access Tech
From magnification devices to smartphone apps, technology can play an enormous role in enhancing accessibility for someone who is blind or visually impaired. MABVI’s Assistive Technology Centers can help.
