Podcast Summary:
The White Cane Project is going nationwide! After Sight and AwareWolf Gear are teaming up to get free white canes into the hands of blind and low vision people across the United States, with shipping covered, too.
On Blind Abilities, Jeff Thompson and Pete Lane sit down with Kim Wardlow, Penn Street, Bari Azman, and Sedona Dave to hear how it all came together. It started when Penn kept meeting riders on Colorado public transit whose canes were broken, too short, or missing altogether. What began with Penn handing out her own spare canes grew into a Colorado program with support from the Lions. Now the team can finally say yes to requests from across the country.
Hear what sets the Urban Xplorer and All-Terrain Cane apart, from navigating busy sidewalks to exploring rugged trails, and find out how to request a cane through After Sight’s White Cane Project online.
