Team With A Vision
Team With A Vision is proud to be a Non-Profit partner with John Hancock in the John Hancock Non-Profit Marathon Program for the Boston Marathon 2019.
For a quarter of a century, members of Team With A Vision have shown the world that “disability” does not mean “inability.”
Our international team of runners who are visually impaired and blind, and charity runners race to support individuals throughout Massachusetts living with vision loss. Their efforts allow the MABVI to deliver professional, peer, and volunteer support to more than 1,500 individuals each year, giving them the support they need to live with dignity and independence.
All funds raised support MABVI’s statewide network of vision rehabilitation services, which includes low vision support groups, assistive technology training, and 400+ volunteers matched 1:1 with individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
Applications for 2019 have closed.
Team With A Vision takes part in other races. Check out our Upcoming Events!

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
