Awarewolf Gear

Growing up, I dreamt big, just like any other young boy. But at the age of ten, my vision began to fade. Diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a genetic eye disease, I went from seeing the world to grappling with darkness. Misdiagnosis led me to a special school for a short time, but it wasn't the right fit. Losing my sight completely was a turning point, but it also ignited a fire within me.

Julius Mbura is a trailblazing adventurer and advocate for the blind and low vision community. Born and raised in Kenya, Julius has demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination, conquering challenging terrains, including the summit of Mount Kenya and the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro. Using the All Terrain Cane™, Julius redefines what is possible, inspiring others to embrace empowerment and independence. His journey serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of accessible tools in achieving extraordinary feats.

Julius Mbura: A Heights Unseen Mission

At Awarewolf Gear, we stand behind those who redefine possibilities. Julius Mbura is one such trailblazer—an adventurer, advocate, and changemaker on a mission to ensure that blindness is never a barrier to independence.

Through his Heights Unseen challenge, Julius is pushing past limits, summiting Ngong Hills, Mount Longonot, Elephant Hill, Satima in the Aberdares, Lenana on Mount Kenya, and the legendary Kilimanjaro. But this journey isn’t just about personal achievement—it’s about transforming lives.

Julius is on a mission to donate 4,000 mobility canes to visually impaired individuals across Kenya, paving the way for greater independence, safety, and confidence. This is just the beginning. His ultimate goal? To equip 100,000 visually impaired children with white canes by 2027.

How You Can Help
Every step Julius takes toward the summit is a step toward empowering someone in need. Your support can help make his vision a reality. Join us in championing mobility, freedom, and opportunity.

    • Donate a Cane. Change a Life.
    • Support the Heights Unseen Mission.


Together, we can ensure that disability is never a limitation—only a different way to experience the world.
