That’s the purpose of a Santa Barbara County organization called Blind Fitness.

Brianna Petit links local volunteers with people who are visually impaired to help them be more active.
Whether it’s walking, running, or even surfing - she aims to boost physical and emotional health.
Petit says this population is already prone to isolation and depression - which got worse during the pandemic.
Through Blind Fitness, she hopes to break down barriers for the visually impaired and for them to feel more a part of the community.
