CNIB wants to ensure that anyone who is blind or partially sighted can benefit from safety, independence, and enablement that a smartphone, along with the proper training, can provide. If you have sight loss, live in Canada and are registered with the CNIB Foundation, you are eligible for a free smartphone through Phone It Forward. 
If you would like to register with the CNIB Foundation for Phone It Forward or other programs, please call 1-833-554-5020.

​Thank you for everyone's support for this great cause!

Cycle for Sight Virtual will happen on Saturday, June 20th to raise awareness and funds for vision research. Here are the key points:

• There are no barriers to participating: free registration, no fundraising minimums, anyone and everyone can participate from their own home – no special equipment is required
• We have cycling and other Paralympian athlete ambassadors participating and cheering everyone on this year. Learn more about them here.

 
Ways to participate:

1. 1.Join the Cycle for Sight indoor live broadcast on Sat. June 20th beginning at 11 am ET and participate in the opening ceremonies and custom indoor cycling program. And if you don’t have access to an indoor bike, then join the indoor fitness and yoga program – no special equipment required.
2. 2. Or choose your own route and cycle safely outdoors on June 20th.  Participants may also like to run, walk, or roller blade – they can select any athletic pursuit this year!

Our goal is to have as many people as possible register for free to Cycle for Sight, and if each raises a little or self donates, then we’ll reach our fundraising goal to find treatments and cures for blinding eye diseases.

​The TandemEyes Leadership Team would like to thank you for your patience during this unprecedented and challenging time. We have been patiently awaiting guidance from our government officials, public health, associated cycling clubs and affiliations to make the most informed and safest decision regarding our 2020 season.
Unfortunately, we have decided in the interest of safety for our members and their families to cancel our 2020 TandemEyes Season.
We understand that this will be disappointing to our members and the cycling community as a whole, however we look forward to our 2021 TandemEyes Season where we can cycle safely.
We encourage all to check the TandemEyes Website regularly as we will be using the “News and Events” section of our website to promote wellness and healthy living initiatives.
Thank you for your understanding, stay safe!
TandemEyes Team
