Steve Widders: ‘I was diagnosed by Fred Hollows and he told me that I had a form of macular degeneration, which meant that my eyesight would gradually be lost. It almost tore the family apart. I realised I had an obligation and a responsibility to my family and I decided it was up to me. When I say losing me sight gave me vision, it gave me vision for the future. I saw everything from a different perspective, literally a different perspective. There is a lot of ignorance out there from other people who think because you got a disability you haven’t got ability. Don’t put that “dis” in front of my “ability”.’
