[2019·湖南六校联考 ]Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with
cyclists, runners and walkers, but imagine facing the task of doing it all without
being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone
agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visionandhearingimpaired (视觉和
听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt, president of Achilles Brisbane, who is vision and hearingimpaired,
said, “When we go out, its much less frightening to have someone beside us that
has full hearing to listen for us and tell us whats there.”
Ms. Cullen and Ms. Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free
fivekilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that
it took time to develop.
Ms. Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely.
“There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I
suddenly had to tell her I couldnt see anything, and I was going to have to completely
trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about
dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles
Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult
to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked
up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her
from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to
them,” she said. “Its the best thing Ive ever done.”
