More Australians than ever are losing their sight to conditions like diabetes and macular degeneration. For these people, simple daily activities - like walking to the bus stop, or simply getting around the home - can become a massive challenge.
What if you could help restore confidence and independence to Australians who are blind or have low vision by taking on your own personal challenge?
You can.
Join the Sights Set on China Trek 2013
On this 11-day adventure, you will hike a number of different sections of the wall - some restored, and others rambling and overgrown.
Most people only experience the Great Wall on a day trip - but on this adventure you will have time to soak it all in, decipher the poems and stories written on the bricks and get lost in the maze-like Street of Eight Diagrams.
You will experience the real China, as you stay in local villages and escape the tourist trail.You will also spend time getting to know the magnetic city of Beijing.
