BLIND WOMAN SETS HER SIGHTS ON GLOBAL BIKE FIRST

Written by Bernard Smith

Hello and welcome to Catherine' s World Tour Fundraising Page.

If you have come from www.worldtour.org.uk then you will be aware of the journey and what Catherine is setting out to do. If you have stumbled onto this page during a random search then a very special welcome. You can find more information by following the link above and then come back to this page to make a donation.

I think it is important to say that Catherine is set to become the first blind person to travel around the world on a motorbike. This unique two-wheeled trip will see her ride pillion across Europe, Asia, Australia, and America in an effort to help raise more than £2,500 for charity.

The event itself is fully supported by The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, Action for Blind People and the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB). It is also time to say a very special thanks to Dolphin Computer Access who will be supplying Catherine's Access Technology for the duration of the trip. A big Thank You also to Autocom Communication Specialists who have supplied the Intercom system for the motorcycle - it really is very, very good! 

Apart from the obvious fundraising target we have set Catherine has said that just as importantly the journey is about raising "....awareness and people’s hopes that even if they lose their sight, it shouldn’t necessarily mean placing boundaries around their expectations or ambition.”

I think this last quote from Catherine sums up her determination to succeed and I very much look forward to working with her on this journey.

Best Wishes

Bernard Smith
