I’m stepping up to restore sight!

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

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.

Early Start off the Hidden Forest - Elephant rescue site. 28 acreage of forest in which 6 female Indian Elephants are housed. These wonderful beasts are looked after 24/7 by a carer (makoot) I waved to one of the elephants that was two metres away and it was waving back with its trunk. Great day Back to the hotel around 2pm headed down for a swim and went to watch the Pies get robbed. Proceeded to have dinner at an Italian restaurant… worst food on the trip.

Sensational day woke up sore still from the message , and went on a cruise to James Bond island, canoeing, walking through caves and jungles.. Then off to the Muy Thai boxing. I never really want to go but Matt was pretty keen so I went along. just like in hangover, great night and at 11:30 we stopped for a drink along Bangla rd, Pootong. Matt and I, picked up young Brodie from the gutter, the publican manager was trying to get us drunk. Drinks were coming our way that we didn’t order. tuk tuk driver ripped off Matt as well. Got home at 3:30am, Matt was no good either. getting the kilometres at a good rate.
