ALT 300 Virtual Programs Milestone Club, the text reads "I have never stuck with any program this long before. Joining the virtual workout classes with NWABA has been a game-changer for me. Exercising alone was never motivating enough, but being part of this group has made all the difference. The community and energy keep me going, and I am thrilled to be a part of this growing community." Athlete Ebrahim, Cape Town, South Africa.
๐ Today we celebrate #Juneteenth! Let's honor freedom and resilience by remembering Thomas Wiggins, a blind African American pianist who overcame immense challenges. His story inspires us to break barriers and support inclusivity for all. Read more here: perkins.org/thomas-wiggins/

Beep baseball uses a variety of sound sources in play. Whether hitting off a tee or slow pitch, the baseball uses a beeping sound while the bases use a longer tone that our athletes can hear as they round the diamond. #nwaba#nwblindathletes#beepbaseball
