Blind British Motivational Speaker - Carl Peach
  • Carl Peach

At 59 Years Old I Lost My Eyesight

Following a routine eye-test, my doctors discovered that I have a hereditary and incurable defect in my optic nerve. As a result, I now live with a permanent visual blizzard and have difficulty navigating the world and performing the simplest of tasks. I’ve faced many challenges throughout my life; blindness is proving to be one of the hardest. I’ve chosen to embrace this latest challenge and keep striding forward regardless.

Motivational Speaking

I prefer to work within a 50-mile radius of my home in Kettering, Northamptonshire, but potentially, I’m open to speaking anywhere in the UK. The topics I speak about are all related to personal challenges I’ve faced and how I deal with them. They include:

This is my latest challenge, and I’m still learning. My attitude towards it remains positive, upbeat and determined.

For most of my life I was addicted to gambling. In 2017 I made a conscious choice to change my life and I haven’t gambled since.

From poor health and mobility to half-marathon runner and weight training enthusiast, moving forward one step at a time.
