On November 11 2023 to November 17 2023, I am doing a blindness walk from Nanango to Vision Australia Coorparoo Office. It's about 230 km and I am doing it to show that if you have disability or are blind, you can still do what normal people can do.
I'm also trying to raise money for Vision Australia and their work. So everyone please get on board with me. I am going to start training these next 2 months and i'm so happy to be doing it.
