<p>In this episode, Qudsiya will take you on a journey with one of her favorite adaptive sports organizations that prioritizes giving blind people access to the natural world. She joined the <a href="https://gomwaba.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes</a>, affectionately known as MWABA, for a bike camping adventure along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Washington DC. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Thanks to a grant from the <a href="https://www.adventurecycling.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Adventure Cycling Association</a>, 25 campers, including blind athletes, sighted tandem captains, and volunteer drivers spent one hot, sweaty, but incredibly fun night biking and camping along the Potomac River. Through Qudsiya’s firsthand account of the experience, you'll be immersed in the sounds and stories that made the trip so special.</p>
