The temperatures might be dropping as we dive into winter, but there is still lots happening in blind sport. In May, we were really excited to hold our friends and whānau cycling day in Auckland, which was our biggest event yet. Looking ahead to this month, there are a range of great sport opportunities taking place throughout the country.
