Glen Magpiong of Wellesley, a member of Team Super Nice, logged 297.1 miles, and the team as a whole, which also included Chris Cavallerano of Wellesley, logged 815.61 miles.
“Our original fundraising goal was $26,000 and 2,620 miles, and I am proud to say we far surpassed that at $137,000 and 10,315 miles,” said Brian Mac Donald, president of NBP. “Over the last month, we asked supporters across the United States to come together to each log miles while raising money and awareness for Braille literacy.”
