The challenges themselves are fantastic adventures to listen to, but coupled with Dave’s humour and immense enthusiasm for life and the emotional challenge of living with blindness it can’t help but bring smiles, tears and motivation from the audience

Dave, an ordinary guy from West Bromwich, recounts stories from his own experiences as a self -motivated blind person, offering broader insights to life such as:

The emotional challenge of living with blindness and continuing an active life.

Helping people to achieve their personal goals; whether that be to walk independently or run marathons.
