I'm fundraising for Seeing Eye Dogs

Children living with low vision and blindness climb mountains every day in life. Please support them as I take on Everest Base Camp in October 2027.

Less than 4 years ago I had a bi lateral central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). This left me with profound sight loss.

With my own mountains to climb, I made a promise to myself to live the life I choose and soon I was climbing real mountains.

With expert training from Vision Australia's orientation and mobility specialists I learnt the skills I neeed to be safe and scale new heights.

From Gariwerd to Australia's High Country including Mt Kosciouszko, my adventures have taken me to Tasmania, the Great Ocean Road, New Zealand, and the iconic Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea.

2027 will be dedicated to the children and young people with low vision and blindness. As I embark on train races across the country, I am hiking to create awareness that anything is possible, with the pinnacle taking on Everest Base Camp in October 2027. At an elevation of 5,364m, I will be tested physically, mentaly and emotionally at every step.

Please show your support with a donation and a message of good will.

Help me climb mountains so that children living with low vision and blindness can climb theirs.

Happy trails.
