Supporting South African Guide-Dogs Association 

 

 

My personal story...

​

In February 2019, I was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type 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 loss 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 South African Guide-Dogs Association in Johannesburg, South Africa. My journey with them has been phenomenal in giving me back my independence, confidence and freedom.
