Why I Walk

As you may know, my daughter Abby was born with sight loss. She was diagnosed at 5 weeks old with bilateral coloboma, micropthalmia, and nystagmus. She has no light perception in her left eye. Her field of vision is reduced in her right eye but the vision she does have is corrected with her glasses. It was a whirlwind when she was diagnosed and I have learned so much about visual impairments and received wonderful services for Abby from CNIB (shout-out to Deb!). Please consider donating or ask me if you have any questions about our journey! 

Here's some more information from CNIB:

Did you know that CNIB supports more than 500,000 Canadians who are living with sight loss and every minute, three Canadians turn to CNIB for support, advice and information? 

In 2019, our mission isn't that different then it was more than 100 years ago. In our second century of change, we continue to support blind and partially sighted Canadians by striving to change what it is to be blind today. 

This year, we are asking you to assemble your best and brightest! Don your capes, dust off your super suits and join me and Team CNIB by making a donation to our Suprhero themed evening!

Any amount you would like to donate is so very appreciated. If you are looking for direction, may I suggest you consider joining our ranks and signing up as one of the following:

·         Valiant Citizen: $25.00

·         Hero in Training: $50.00

·         Sidekick: $100.00

·         Superhero: $200.00

·         Galactic Defender: $250.00

Your donation helps CNIB deliver more than innovative programs and powerful advocacy. You help us, deliver hope. The type of hope that only a superhero can bring. You empower Canadians impacted by blindness to live the fullest life they can imagine.

It's for these reasons, I’m participating in Night Steps 2019! Please donate to my page and help individuals in our community see beyond sight loss.
