Honorary Chair for Sight Night Calgary 2023!
Cassandra’s spirit knows no bounds; she’s an active sports enthusiast, engaging in diverse activities like triathlons, blind hockey, golf, and goalball. Thanks to the Alberta Sports and Recreation Association for the Blind (ASRAB), she has found a supportive community that empowers her physically and mentally.
After a brief hiatus from goalball, Cassandra made a triumphant return, earning her place in the women’s provincial team and even being named to the Canadian Women’s Goalball National team pool!
Beyond sports, Cassandra cherishes her free time, indulging in her love for drawing and spending quality moments with friends. Her resilience and passion have led her to be named the Honorary Chair for Sight Night Calgary 2023!
We invite you to join Cassandra at Sight Night Calgary November 18th for this inspiring event; emphasizing that every step, whether running, walking, volunteering, or donating, will contribute significantly to supporting fellow Albertans living with visual impairments. Let’s come together and make a difference!
At just 16 years old and in grade 11, Cassandra is a remarkable individual who faces the world with immense courage and enthusiasm despite her diagnosis of Aniridia, a condition that affects her vision. Living with the absence of the iris, she battles challenges such as nystagmus, cataracts, glaucoma risks, and extreme light sensitivity, also known as photophobia.
