definition for: #deafblindaware

Are you #deafblindaware? Deafblind Awareness Week takes place around the birth date of Helen Keller (the last week in June). Keller was the first deafblind person to gain a Bachelor of Arts degree. Deafblind Awareness Week raises awareness and support around those that suffer from both sight and hearing loss as well as those that care for them. Did you know that there are an estimated 356,000 deafblind people in the UK today? (Sense)
