Help Me Give Back to Berkshire Vision by supporting me cycling 29,000km Around the World (Indoors!)
In early 2020, my life changed forever. I woke up one morning struggling to see in both eyes. When I went to the eye casualty clinic, I received a diagnosis that was both shocking and devastating: I had severe visual impairment due to long-standing complications from diabetes.
One eye had a detached retina, and the other was badly damaged. The doctors told me, “We’ll be lucky to save any sight.” It was a moment that turned my world upside down.
But from that challenging day, a new chapter began. I refused to let this diagnosis define me. Over the past few years, I’ve taken up cycling on my indoor bike, which has been nothing short of transformative. Cycling has helped me improve my health, manage my diabetes, and strengthen my mental resilience.
Throughout this journey, Berkshire Vision has been there to support for me. For the past five years, this incredible charity has provided guidance, resources, and encouragement when I’ve needed it most. Their work makes a profound difference in the lives of people with visual impairments in the local community, and now it’s my turn to give back.
In 2025, I’m taking on the ultimate challenge: cycling the equivalent of 29,000km—the distance around the world—on my indoor bike. It’s a big goal, but every pedal stroke will be worth it to support Berkshire Vision and the amazing work they do.
Your support can make all the difference. Together, we can help ensure Berkshire Vision continues to change lives.
Please donate whatever you can—no amount is too small—and join me on this journey to make a difference. Thank you for being part of this adventure!
