It is a challenge many disabled athletes face, unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears. Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision?and?hearing?impaired (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 hearing?impaired, said, “When we go out, it's much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what's there.” Ms. Cullen and Ms. Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five?kilometer 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 couldn't 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.
