Running my mouth counts, right? 😅

This April I’ll be challenging myself to move 100km for Vision Australia’s 100K Your Way 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

For someone who is blind or has low vision, staying active and independent isn’t always easy 🤷‍♀️ this fundraiser is helping to change that though, with donations playing a crucial role in service provision; to empower people of all ages who are blind or have low vision to move the way they choose 😎

You can join me in supporting this important cause by sponsoring my 100K Your Way challenge and clicking the DONATE button.

Your contribution and encouragement, no matter the size (even a gold coin), will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your support 🤝

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, I'm very grateful 😀

I didn't get to do the amount of moving that I'd planned this month, as I had eye surgery a few weeks ago and have since been riding a little post-op roller-coaster 😝

I appreciate the work of my doctor and the support of friends and family through this period of change 💜

1st Activity Session - 2 April

Emma sits in the sun wearing hat, sunglasses, and a shirt with cartoon green frogs print. 1 April

Although the frogs of Boorloo are primarily brown, I wore my green frog shirt for the first day of Djeran 😎 It was serendipitous that I then met someone face-to-face (who I'd been expecting to talk to by phone) and they complimented my shirt by referencing a story of green frogs in Rubibi, where it's the first day of Marrul 🐸☀️ Happy outdoor moving this April!
