Through the Georgia Blind Sports Association’s new partnership with the United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) and the Amerigroup Foundation, a group of 25 blind and visually impaired participants in Atlanta will be tracking their fitness through the use of Fitbit wearables.
The health initiative is part of a nine-month program called the USABA/Amerigroup Foundation National Fitness Challenge (#NFCChallenge2017), the fifth installment of its kind. With the use of their smartphones, the two dozen individuals will be able to not only monitor their health and fitness goals but also track how others are progressing as well.
