Both Wendy’s mother and father have macular degeneration, and she has helped them with their journeys from the early to the late stages of this condition. Wendy was diagnosed a few years ago.

This family history of macular degeneration led Wendy to a volunteer position with Radio 2RPH (radio for the print handicapped) where she helps read and live-broadcast the Sydney newspapers for those who would like to keep up with the news but are unable to read because of vision problems or other physical issues.
