Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

On this week’s show

"100K"

Vision Australia and Vision Australia Radio are conducting their "100k Your Way" fundraising campaign in April.  Sam talks to two of the Ambassadors for the event,.   

Dale talks about how he lost his sight; how that has affected his life; and why he is doing the whole 100K in one day.

Jess talks about being a mother of a three-year-old with albinism; how that has changed her entire family; and how they will be fundraising in April.

Meanwhile Ian Finlayson, the General Manager of Fundraising and Marketing for Vision Australia talks about event itself, how you can be involved and how to support those taking part.

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
