My Impact Level:
Legacy Legend

I’VE RAISED $5,078 TO CONTINUE FRED’S LEGACY

I’VE RESTORED SIGHT TO UP TO
203 PEOPLE

My Activity Tracking

117
kms

My target 100 kms

I’m swimming up and down the lanes to restore sight!

I'm taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT! 

My challenge is to swim 100kms for the month of August.

My goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows. 

Because right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don't need to be...

And an operation that costs as little as $25 can help restore sight to someone who is needlessly blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support my challenge to give the gift of sight.

Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, please sponsor my challenge and let's honour his memory together.

Thank you for your support.

Go you good thing. You are what Australians are all about. I think William Arthur Ward was referencing you when he wrote- “Adversity causes some men to break; others break records.” All the best Maso
