Imagine being told at the age of just 15 you will lose your ability to see.

A humbling thought isn't it?

That is unfortunately what Kye, our brave young man has been told and the reality of living in between the blind and sighted world is both a scary and frustrating one of equal measure. Kye was recently diagnosed with the genetically transmitted disease, known as Retina Pigmentosa (or RP).


Coming to terms with this sight loss diagnosis will no doubt be a challenge no young person should have to face. We would like to help take a financial burden off Kye and his family so this page has been created to help raise funds for the ongoing medical costs and to allow Kye and his Mum to travel to the States for further medical advice and to also fulfill Kye's travelling dreams whilst he is still able to enjoy the sights that our amazing planet has to offer.

Not only will this allow them access to advanced medical advice and treatment, it will also allow Kye to take a permanent picture of as many wonders of the world as possible, so that he can always treasure those visual memories forever.
