Toss the Boss 2018 - Julie Woods

When I spoke at an event in Balclutha recently I was telling the audience how I got asked to go cross country skiing when I had just gone blind and politely turned it down, realising when I got home that I wasn’t going to make a very good blind person if I turned down opportunities that came my way. So, I decided from that moment on that if anyone asked me to do anything I would say why not!

Little did I realise when I was telling this story that in the audience was the Malcam Trust’s Desiree Williams who, at question time, in front of 200 youth, asked me “Do you want to absail from the top of the Forsyth Barr Stadium Julie?” What could I say? I had to say “why not Desiree!”

So, here I am, totally blind and totally keen to get out of my comfort zone to prove to myself that I can do the things I think I can’t and to raise money for an organisation who’s people are it’s profit!

I'm very keen to reach my target and ask for your support!
