Supporting Guide-Dogs Association 

South Africa

 

 

My personal story...

​

In February 2019, Iwas diagnosed with Ushers Syndrome 2, an inherited genetic condition characterised by hearing impairment and gradual vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa.

 

While I have always coped with my hearing impairment throughout my life, it has been the gradual vision loss that I have found to be frightening and frustrating. However, I have been very fortunate to have been introduced to Guide-Dogs Association in Johannesburg, South Africa and my journey with them has been truly phenomenal in giving me back my independence, confidence and freedom. 

​

My Pledge...

​

As a way to give back to this wonderful organisation, I am pledging 10% of my coaching fees to Guide-Dogs Association, in particular, to their Orientation & Mobility Department.
