Live the Life You Want

Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines him or his future, and he demonstrates this truth every day, as do our members across the nation. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. In this video, President Riccobono invites you to join us because together with love, hope, and determination, our Federation family will transform dreams into reality.
