Help Roman raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

My name is Roman Liberati and I am currently a Senior at Slippery Rock University studying Health and Physical Education with a minor in Adapted Physical Activity. 

Sports have the power to change lives. As someone deeply involved in teaching, coaching, and adapted physical activity, I’ve seen firsthand how movement, teamwork, and competition can build confidence, independence, and joy. That’s why I’m fundraising for Envision Blind Sports, an organization dedicated to providing athletic opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

For many, sports might seem like an impossible challenge, but Envision Blind Sports proves otherwise. They create inclusive programs that empower athletes to develop skills, build friendships, and experience the thrill of competition—just like anyone else. Their work goes beyond the game; it fosters independence, self-esteem, and a lifelong love of movement.

To support this incredible cause, I am running in the Pittsburgh Marathon this May to raise funds and awareness for Envision Blind Sports. Every mile I run is a step toward making sports more accessible for individuals with visual impairments. Your support—whether through donations, spreading the word, or cheering me on—will help provide specialized equipment, coaching, and opportunities for these athletes to thrive. Together, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to experience the joy of play.

Description

WHO WE ARE: Envision Blind Sports is a program that provides year-round sport and physical activity opportunities for children and adults who are blind or visually impaired. We began championing our mission in 2006 and since then have become an official non-profit in 2017. Every year we are able to provide sports clinics, educational support, outdoor adventures, and a yearly camp to over 100 athletes.

WHAT WE DO:
