I am an adult woman living with Stargardt disease, a rare inherited eye condition that causes progressive sight loss. Despite the challenges of low vision, I am passionate about open water swimming and love exploring rivers, seas, and lakes.

My next challenge is a three-day expedition in the south of Bahia, Brazil: swimming 2–3 km in a river, 5 km in the sea, and 2 km from the mangrove to the ocean. With the support of kayaks for navigation, I will take on this journey that is both physically and mentally demanding.

I am raising funds for Stargardt’s Connected, a charity that supports people affected by Stargardt disease, builds community, and raises awareness of this rare condition. Your donation will help them continue their vital work.

Thank you so much for your support!
