Our story…

Every Step Counts is Blind Beginnings’ 2025 fundraising campaign in partnership with the Vancouver Half Marathon Charity Challenge. Whether you're walking, running, or cheering from the sidelines, your steps will help empower blind and partially sighted children and youth across BC.

This year, all proceeds from Every Step Counts will support our STEP Program – Safe Travel Education for Pre-schoolers. This one-of-a-kind summer program teaches preschool-aged children foundational mobility and independence skills. With your help, we're setting them up to take their very first steps—safely and confidently.

Description

This year, Team Blind Beginnings is running to support our youngest explorers—children ages 3 to 5 who are blind or partially sighted. All funds raised through our “Every Step Counts” campaign will go directly to our STEP Program (Safe Travel Education for Pre-schoolers)—a unique, multi-day summer program that helps young children develop foundational orientation and mobility skills. Through guided play, sensory learning, and hands-on activities, preschoolers gain the confidence and tools to begin navigating their world safely and independently.

Your donation helps us provide specialized instruction, family support, and a safe environment for these children to take their very first steps toward independence. With your support, we’re not just raising money—we’re building confidence, freedom, and inclusion from the very beginning.

Donate today and help us make Every Step Count.
