Vendon Wright was born on the sixth of August 1966, in a small town called Rugby, in England. He was registered blind at the age of twenty-eight, after a ten-year battle, he suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa.Battling against such a crippling disease led me through a labyrinth of challenges. My fight to remain positive was put under yet more pressure when I found out that I was also suffering from Ushers syndrome, a disorder that results in both loss of hearing and of sight. So far, my future wasn't looking bright and I felt as though there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I finally learnt to accept and embrace my medical condition and move on with my life.
