Des Wallington

Hi Everyone

I am Des, your local radio station contributor. You may have noticed me on my rounds around the city of Melville with my seeing eye dog Champ. Sometimes you can also find us in Perth and many other places, when Champ and I support the Seeing Eye Dogs Australia (SEDA) initiative, share our story about the assistance we have received from SEDA and others, or just talk to individuals and groups about life.

I am totally blind. I lost my sight 25 years go. This has not stopped me to travel extensively to bowling tournaments in Singapore, Europe and America. 

Three lessons from life I would like to share with you.

1. Look after your eyesight
2. Even though I can’t see you, I can hear you. So, talk to me whenever you see me.
3. Whenever you hit a snag in life, don’t feel sorry for yourself. Get on with life, there is a lot more living to do.
