This is the first year the
event will be in Lincoln.
In the past a 1 3-mile walk-a-thon

Many blind people are
denied jobs and entrance
to recreational areas such
as roller rinks, Doty said.
The top three pledge

are determined according
to the amount of money
they turn in.

Mortenson said the conference is directed toward
college, high school, elementary and nursery school
teachers, counselors, nurses, doctors, mental health
and social work professionals, ministers, religious

mount, it is even more important for people inter
ested in family well-being to join together," Morten
son said.
The symposium is a chance for people from all
over the United States to share their common con
cerns, he said.
Registration fee is $82 for the entire symposium,
