“I was in my first year of doing a computer course at Teeside Uni and I was meant to be meeting up with people at the Student Union. I went up to some people, who I thought were students and asked them if they knew the way to the nightclub. They asked me if that was a baseball bat I’d got in my hand and so I said no it’s a white cane. The next thing I knew they had pulled it off me and smacked me over the head with my cane. Luckily it hasn’t made my sight worse as a result, but it could have. Luckily they didn’t physically injure me in any way.

“You know when I get home and I haven’t encountered any problems then I always think that’s a miracle, rather than the norm.”
