Hole in my soul.

Will update you all when I get notification that the Macular Society has received the money.

£501. Thank you all so much.

Goodbye to my beloved green boots. They have worn out on the sole. Whilst repairing my own. (soul)

Have ordered new ones. The same, because they are the comfiest footwear ever, but different colour. Black/purple.

They have taken me around beautiful places. Whilst making me fitter and stronger, mentally and physically.

Becoming the best me ever.

Just started walking a few months ago when I needed to help myself battle with my mental health.

I’ve done things I’ve never thought I was capable of.

Including organising and achieving in one day, a 15 mile walk. Wasn’t what I set out to do, but I pushed myself.

Agreeing to attend the sight loss course I’ve got this week. I still don’t want to go, but I am.

By saying yes to everything. Meeting old and new people, Being out of your comfort zone.

It’s surprising what you can do.

NaviLens app

The cutting edge technology for the visually impaired/blind.

NaviLens is a high-density artificial markers system for long distance reading.

The tags generated by this system are designed in order to be read from a long distance, without the need of focussing and even in motion. This makes them useful for blind and low vision people. All you need to do is to point the camera of the device to a tag in order to quickly read its contents.

The application has a new sound system with which a blind person can locate the label in the space with precision, without the need for headphones.

NaviLens App free to download from Google Play Store for Android.

£501!

Thank you to all you absolute legends that have supported me either by donations, sharing, liking or messaging me during my challenge for the Macular Society.

To fundraise to help with everything they do for us with macula diseases.

I completely pushed myself and it took me out of my comfort zone to do this, both mentally and physically. I feel better for it. Can’t say I’m proud of myself (never am) but so overwhelmed by the support of people out there for me. 🤗
