Chris McCausland Dancing on Strictly

The very funny comedian and now dancer, Chris McCausland, is showing everyone and bringing awareness to just what people with visual impairment CAN do. 

He’s dancing up a treat on Strictly Come  Dancing in the UK and it must be so freeing being able to move freely, unrestricted and still feel safe.

Chris, 47, lost his sight at the age of 22 due to a hereditary condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa. However, the dad of one admitted it happened so “slowly” since he was born, that he didn’t pay it much attention.

So that is genetic like Stargardt’s Disease, but this affects the peripheral vision rather than central like my condition.
