“Sue Martin and Jim Marin have started a Go Fund Me fund
raiser for an Outdoor Recreation Center for people who are blind or visually
impaired.
You may know Sue from her novels; "Out of the
Whirlpool" and "In Dog We Trust". If successful, we hope
to start having programs for adults and children over 10 years of age next
summer. We live on 19 acres with lake frontage on beautiful Great Pond in
Franklin, Maine. The program will include hiking, camping, kayak and
canoeing, fishing as well as swimming and cooking your own food. We could
also include hiking excursions in Acadia National Park, and may have winter
camping including cross country skiing.
I am attaching our link to the Go Fund Me program.
Any donation you can afford will be gratefully accepted. Please share
this information far and wide. It will not only be limited to citizens of
Maine, but worldwide to anyone who is blind or visually impaired. Perhaps
we could have a special blind veterans program if there is enough
interest. Sue, who happens to be blind, and I have spent 32 years hiking,
camping, fishing, kayaking/canoeing, and cross country skiing everywhere we
have lived. I have taught blind O&M students and friends how to use
their mobility skills in the outdoors, particularly hiking and cross country
skiing. If interested in helping us create this program go to:
