News
On July 4, 2023, Atlanta BVA chapter members Wayne Lawson and William Jackson completed the Atlanta Journal Constitution 10K Peachtre Road Race. Accompanied by guides Doug Smith USAF (Ret), and Naeemah Lawson, Wayne’s daughter, the team of four completed the race in just under two hours. Jackson said, “There are many things blinded veterans may no longer be able to do, but we can all maximize what we can still do, and walking is something Wayne and I can still do.” They plan to make this an annual event and welcome all Georgia Regional Group BVA members, family, and friend, to join them.
