Blind Prestwick teacher raises over £800 for sight loss charity in Kiltwalk challenge

A blind teacher from Prestwick raised over £800 for national sight loss charity RNIB Scotland when she pounded the pavement during the Kiltwalk on Sunday.

Debra McKenzie, 63, who is registered blind, and friend Karen Mathers, donned their pink RNIB T-shirts and 'Tartan Jimmy' hats as they took part in the challenge in Glasgow with guide dog Bruce.

Debra, an IT teacher who has been working from home due to Covid, runs a weekly RNIB Scotland walking group in Prestwick and also volunteers for one of its local book clubs.
