My target 100 kms

Support my challenge to restore sight!

I'm taking on Fred’s Big Run this August but I'm going to SWIM 100KM TO RESTORE SIGHT! 

My goal is to raise $10,000 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...

For as little as $25, you will help restore sight to someone who is blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support my challenge to give the gift of sight to 400 people.

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

Thank you for your support.

MY IMPACT

I've restored sight to up to 405 people so far. As little as $25 can restore sight to one person
