Blind Bowling…Yes, It’s a real thing!

I’m originally from Buffalo NY. For a good portion of the year the weather is cold and snowy. Because you are indoors a lot bowling is a popular activity. I think I’ve been bowling since I was in about fifth grade or so.

When I first moved to North Carolina I didn’t know many people and I found that I really missed things like being on a bowling league. I was working at a place that employed blind people in manufacturing and distribution and it was brought to my attention that they had a blind bowling league.

I was amazed. I didn’t know such a thing existed. I joined the league as soon as I found out about it, and as a result, I have made some amazing friends. When we start traveling I am really going to miss these guys. They inspire me and remind me of just what is possible.
