Finn's story
Meet Finn, the bubbly three-year-old who enjoys the playground, trains, pushing elevator buttons, and spinning everything he can get his hands on!
Finn was diagnosed with severe vision loss before his first birthday and thanks to fundraising from events like Santa Fun Run, he was able to receive support from Vision Australia immediately after diagnosis.
“Vision plays such a crucial role in how children learn about the world. Without that early intervention, children living with blindness or low vision risk falling behind before they've even had a chance to get started,” shares Finn’s Mum, Claudia.
Finn and Claudia will be joining Santa Fun Run for their third year, celebrating the incredible milestones he has achieved with the support of Vision Australia.
Claudia recently shared an update on Finn’s progress to thank supporters like you for your role in shaping Finn’s childhood development:
“The past year has been a huge one for Finn. He has worked incredibly hard in his therapies, and it’s been amazing to watch his confidence and expressive language continue to grow.
Every new skill feels like a big win. He's now learning early cane skills and beginning braille, laying foundations that will help him access the world with greater confidence.
As Finn has grown, so too has the complexity of the support he needs. Vision Australia has become our village. We couldn't do this alone and thankfully we don't have to. With every milestone reached is an incredible team of people walking alongside Finn, who genuinely believe in what he's capable of.”
