I’m stepping up to restore sight!

I'm taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT!

My goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows.

Because right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don't need to be...

And an operation that costs as little as $25 can help restore sight to someone who is needlessly blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support my challenge to give the gift of sight.

Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, please sponsor my challenge and let's honour his memory together.

Thank you for your support.

MY IMPACT

I've restored sight to up to 31 people so far. As little as $25 can restore sight to one person

Day 8

Tuesday 8th Aug

Just a short walk before an early shift today, but it all counts! It was very cold but the sun was out, and I enjoyed walking along a walking/bike trail close to home.

Day 7

Monday 7th Aug

A shorter walk before work this morning. It’s a lovely sunny day, highly recommend getting outside for a bit if you can!

Day 6

Sunday 6th Aug

Today’s walk was in one of my favourite spots: The Happy Valley Reservoir Reserve. My lovely friends Tanya and Sam joined me. The weather was cool but not raining, and we saw a few kangaroos about.

Day 5

Sunday 6th Aug

Saturday morning I walked from Bonython Park to the Botanic Gardens and back. It was lovely walking along next to the river in the sunshine, and seeing all of the beautiful plants in the gardens. Today’s Walk: 8.5km Month to date total: 33.6km

Day 4

Saturday 5th Aug

A nice easy walk around my local streets this morning. It was raining a bit but my umbrella kept me nice and dry. I saw lots of nice succulents and other nice plants in people’s gardens along the way. Today’s Walk: 6.5km Month to date total: 25.1 km

Day 3

Thursday 3rd Aug

It was a beautiful sunny morning, and I had time for a longer walk today as I have a later shift at work. I walked for a few km down a walking/bike trail near my home, and the surrounding roads and side streets to make it a nice 8km walk. It looks like spring is definitely on the way with all the flowers coming out. Today’s Walk: 8.02 km Month to date total: 18.6 km

Day 2

Wednesday 2nd Aug

This morning I watched the sunrise during my walk! I also met a sweet little cat who approached me and gave me a sniff but didn’t stick around for a pat. Today’s Walk: 5.42km Month to date total: 10.62km

Day 1!

Tuesday 1st Aug

Fred’s Big Run: Day 1 Happy August! Today is finally the start of Fred’s Big Run! I was out before the sun had fully woken up, squeezing in a walk before work. My route took me around some familiar local streets, and past these beautiful flowering trees. Today’s Walk: 5.19km Month to date total: 5.19km

1 hour to go until Fred’s Big Run begins!

Monday 31st Jul

Off to bed now in order to be up early for a walk before work. I’ll be walking 150km or more this month, to raise money to support The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue their life changing work in restoring sight to people with avoidable blindness. Any donation towards this important work is greatly appreciated ❤️ I will be going for walks every day in August. I do work full time, so this will usually mean walking before work - even if this means setting out before the sun is up! I will also be enjoying much longer walks and hikes on my days off. The 150km will only include intentional walks, and not incidental exercise like walking around at work during the day. I’m excited to start this challenge in the morning!! I am very grateful to those that have already sponsored me and donated to this amazing foundation ❤️❤️❤️I will be posting daily updates on Facebook with some pictures taken on my walks too.

I’ve increased my fundraising target!

Wednesday 12th Jul

Thanks to some very generous early supporters, my first fundraising target was hit very quickly! So why not aim for a bit more to help even more people regain their sight!?
