CRAIG AND OCEAN

What would your life be like if you couldn't see?

Craig and Ocean are determined people. The Hamilton based couple could easily dwell on the fact they are severely visually impaired or that they find it so hard to get employment due to their disability.

What would your life be like if you couldn't see?

Craig and Ocean are determined people. The Hamilton based couple could easily dwell on the fact they are severely visually impaired or that they find it so hard to get employment due to their disability.

But despite having no sight and no employment, Craig and Ocean chose to focus on what they do have - a lovely guide dog, Jay Jay, and a loving relationship where they constantly challenge each other to achieve tasks many of us take for granted.

Craig and Ocean have financial restrictions and can’t do many of the sports they would like to do, but they can run. Having never completed a half marathon before, they are training hard and pushing each other (and Jay Jay) to go places where they have never been before.

At The Waterboy, we think their attitude is pretty awesome and we would love to support their training and healthy lifestyle choices by giving them something they can not afford - a gym membership and access to the pool. Both Craig and Ocean love going to the gym and to the pool, and we think that giving them an opportunity to  do something so positive for their health and well-being is awesome.

Despite their many barriers, this couple have an awesome attitude, so let’s help some people who want to help themselves and remove some of those barriers. Who’s in?
