Hi my name is Sharon and I come from the Shepparton area. I am a newly appointed BSRV Ambassador who likes to keep fit through working out at the gym, going swimming and resting in the spa. I also participate in art classes as one of my recreational pursuits.
I came across Blind Sports and Recreation Victoria when they put on a Blind and Low Vision Tennis session in Shepparton where I had a lot of fun playing it.
As a person with lived experience of vision loss, I can empathise a lot with people who are blind or vision impaired who believe they cannot play sport, when they can. It took a support worker to help me navigate to get back in to the gym.
As a BSRV Ambassador I would like to help educate sports clubs, disability organisations, schools and individuals about creating inclusive sport and recreation opportunities and show individuals who are blind or vision impaired that there are ways they can play their chosen sport.
