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.
