I'm jumping out of a perfectly good plane because...
I want to make a difference for New Zealanders with vision loss. That's why I'm doing the Blind Low Vision NZ Skydive! I'm taking on this challenge to support Vinnie’s cool cousins, Kate and Sienna. They both have an incurable condition affecting their optic nerve, causing serious deterioration and moderate to severe vision loss.
This year, Kate can no longer read any print unless the font size is 96 or above. She was an avid reader so this has been really tough for Kate. Sienna cannot see anything clearly beyond 3 metres and close up is hard to see too. As you can imagine these issues make schoolwork very tricky and tiring for both of them and they need lots of adaptations (extra large computer screens, audio readers, magnifying tools).
My awesome nieces are supported by Blind Low Vision NZ - they do amazing work and help Kate and Sienna a great deal!
I'll be jumping from at least 9,000ft and will be free-falling at over 200kmph! Please support me by making a donation to my fundraising page so that people with vision loss can live their lives without limits. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. Cheers Ang xox
